| The `createAuxImage` command helps build a container image from a given base OS image. | ||
| The required option for the command is marked. There are a number of optional parameters for the create feature. |

Just as a suggestion, I would reverse the order of these two sentences: There are a number of optional parameters for this feature. The required option for the command is marked.
| | `--pull` | Always attempt to pull a newer version of base images during the build. | | | ||
| | `--tag` | (Required) Tag for the final build image. Example: `store/oracle/mydomain:1` | | | ||
| | `--target` | Select the target environment in which the created image will be used. Supported values: `Default` (Docker/Kubernetes), `OpenShift` | `Default` | | ||
| | `--wdtArchive` | A WDT archive zip file or comma-separated list of files. | | |
|

| ### Usage scenarios | ||

| | `--wdtModel` | A WDT model file or a comma-separated list of files. | | | ||

WDT version to use --> WDT version to install in {wdtHome}/weblogic-deploy.
Does this support a none option? It's conceivable MII aux image users won't need a WDT install - it could already be available in a different aux image...

We can not assume that the WLS binary mage has WDT, most likely it will not have it. WLS images in OCR do not have WDT. Aux images are only for the MII use case which require WDT.

Updated --wdtVersion description. No, there is no none option included at this time.

MII use case requires WDT yes, but it can have multiple aux images, and only one of them needs to have a WDT install, if any (it could be none of them, since the main image could have the install).

Approve with caveat: It's certainly not a showstopper, but I continue to think a "none" option for wdtVersion could be useful (or have a different setting like "--wdtInstall "included|none"). It's easily possible to need an aux image with only model files/archives where the WDT install is already included in a different aux image. (The WKO MII domain home source type supports using multiple aux images in the same domain.)
Update documentation version and project version to 1.10.0 for the release of
createAuxImage.
