This will help us implement several scenarios related to container image management in a clean way.

Related Aspire issues:

• Menu item to pull container images aspire#9126

can you assign this to me?

@haliaeetusvocifer thank you for your interest in helping with DCP. We usually "assign" issues only to people who's job is to fix them 😄

What's your plan here? We are open for discussing design changes, review PRs etc.

@karolz-ms, I am new here and my 2026 goal is to contribute more to open source. If there are opportunities for me to contribute to design change, feature development, etc, I am open to taking up the challenge.

Nice. For starting with the project I would suggest trying to fix a bug first. For example #14

Feel free to shoot me an email if you get stuck and need some help
