 <para>
  This is the profile from which the Docker images are generated. It prepares a working system by importing the <link linkend="sec-profile-minimal">Minimal</link> and <link linkend="sec-profile-clone-config">Clone Config</link> profiles, and setting appropriate configuration options that are useful inside a container context, like <xref linkend="opt-boot.isContainer"/>.
