# <a name="containerConfigurationFile" />Container Configuration file

This configuration file contains metadata necessary to implement standard operations against the container.
This includes the process to run, environment variables to inject, sandboxing features to use, etc.

The canonical schema is defined in this document, but there is a JSON Schema in [`schema/config-schema.json`](schema/config-schema.json) and Go bindings in [`specs-go/config.go`](specs-go/config.go).
[Platform](spec.md#platforms)-specific configuration schema are defined in the [platform-specific documents](#platform-specific-configuration) linked below.
For properties that are only defined for some [platforms](spec.md#platforms), the Go property has a `platform` tag listing those protocols (e.g. `platform:"linux,solaris"`).

The configuration file contains metadata necessary to implement standard operations against the container.
This includes the process to run, environment variables to inject, sandboxing features to use, etc.

Platform-specific fields are identified as such.
For all platform-specific configuration values, the scope defined below in the [Platform-specific configuration](#platform-specific-configuration) section applies.
