One or more layers are applied on top of each other to create a complete filesystem.
This document will use a concrete example to illustrate how to create and consume these filesystem layers.

## `+gzip` Media Types

* The media type `application/vnd.oci.image.layer.nondistributable.v1.tar+gzip` represents an `application/vnd.oci.image.layer.nondistributable.v1.tar` payload which has been compressed with [gzip][rfc1952_2].

## `+zstd` Media Types

* The media type `application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+zstd` represents an `application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar` payload which has been compressed with [zstd][rfc8478].

## Distributable Format

* Layer Changesets for the [media type](media-types.md) `application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar` MUST be packaged in [tar archive][tar-archive].
