+Within most teams or organizations, every job container image will require a certain amount of common configuration regardless of the purpose for which it is built.  
+
+Packages that typically fall into this set of shared executor requirements include things like:  
+- tool for accessing secrets (such as Vault, chamber, 1password, teller)  
+- standard shell (bash, zsh)  
+- multi-language support (locales)  
+- common dependencies for installing packages (curl, wget, unzip, common build dependencies)
+
+The psk gha-container-base-image is an example of such a common base container. You will see the psk specific tools and configuration, but this can readily be adapted to any organizational requirements.  
+
+Build job specific container images starting from the base image.  
+
+See release notes for detailed version information.  
+
+**signature**. Images are signed using `cosign`. You can verify an image using the twdps public key found [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThoughtWorks-DPS/static/master/cosign.pub).  
+```bash
+cosign verify --key cosign.pub twdps/gha-container-base-image:0.1.0
+```  
+
+**software bill of materials**. For each published image, an SBOM is generated using [syft](https://github.com/anchore/syft) and uploaded to the container registry tagged using the manifest id and .spdx extension. You can pull the sbom using the oras tool as follows:  
+
+fetch image manifest:  
+```
+docker image inspect --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' twdps/gha-container-base-image:0.1.0
+```

+
+download sbom:
