Patched images are released under a new immutable tag and an updated `:latest` tag. Using the `:latest` tag or pinning to a particular image version might be a tradeoff between security and environment reproducibility for your machine learning job.

## Managing environments and container images

In Azure AI Studio, Docker images are used to provide a runtime environment for [prompt flow deployments](../how-to/flow-deploy.md). The images are built from a base image that Azure AI Studio provides.

Although Azure AI Studio patches base images with each release, whether you use the latest image might be tradeoff between reproducibility and vulnerability management. It's your responsibility to choose the environment version that you use for your jobs or model deployments.

By default, dependencies are layered on top of base images when you're building an image. After you install more dependencies on top of the Microsoft-provided images, vulnerability management becomes your responsibility.

Associated with your AI hub resource is an Azure Container Registry instance that functions as a cache for container images. Any image that materializes is pushed to the container registry. The workspace uses it when deployment is triggered for the corresponding environment.

The AI hub doesn't delete any image from your container registry. You're responsible for evaluating the need for an image over time. To monitor and maintain environment hygiene, you can use [Microsoft Defender for Container Registry](/azure/defender-for-cloud/defender-for-container-registries-usage) to help scan your images for vulnerabilities. To automate your processes based on triggers from Microsoft Defender, see [Automate remediation responses](/azure/defender-for-cloud/workflow-automation).

Managed compute nodes in Azure AI Studio use Microsoft-managed OS VM images. When you provision a node, it pulls the latest updated VM image. This behavior applies to compute instance, serverless compute cluster, and managed inference compute options.

Although OS VM images are regularly patched, Azure AI Studio doesn't actively scan compute nodes for vulnerabilities while they're in use. For an extra layer of protection, consider network isolation of your computes.

Ensuring that your environment is up to date and that compute nodes use the latest OS version is a shared responsibility between you and Microsoft. Nodes that aren't idle can't be updated to the latest VM image. Considerations are slightly different for each compute type, as listed in the following sections.
