 ## Docker Image Generation
-This repository supports building Docker container images for networking components using standardized make recipes. The build system uses Docker or Podman to create multi-platform images.
-
-### Prerequisites
-- Docker or Podman installed and running
-- For multi-platform builds: `make qemu-user-static` (Linux only)
-
-### Available Components
-- **acncli** - CNI manager
-- **azure-ipam** - Azure IP Address Management
-- **cni** - Container Network Interface
-- **cns** - Container Network Service
-- **npm** - Network Policy Manager
-- **ipv6-hp-bpf** - IPv6 Host Policy BPF
-
-### Generic Build Pattern
-All components follow the same make recipe pattern:
-
-```bash
-# Build container image
-$ make <component>-image
-
-# View image name and tag
-$ make <component>-image-name-and-tag
-
-# Push image to registry
-$ make <component>-image-push
-
-# Pull image from registry
-$ make <component>-image-pull
-
-# Build multi-platform manifest
-$ make <component>-manifest-build
-$ make <component>-manifest-push
-```
-
-### Example Usage
-```bash
-# Build CNS image
-$ make cns-image
-
-# Build NPM image with custom platform
-$ PLATFORM=linux/arm64 make npm-image
-
-# Build Azure-IPAM image with custom registry
-$ IMAGE_REGISTRY=myregistry.azurecr.io make azure-ipam-image
-
-# Use Podman instead of Docker
-$ CONTAINER_BUILDER=podman make cni-image
-```
-
-### Customization
-Environment variables for customizing builds:
-- `PLATFORM` - Target platform/architecture (default: linux/amd64)
-- `IMAGE_REGISTRY` - Custom registry (default: acnpublic.azurecr.io)
-- `CONTAINER_BUILDER` - Container builder (default: docker, alternative: podman)
-
-Images are tagged with platform and version information and published to the configured registry.
