Type of issue

Information is incorrect

Description

https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/#images

An image is a read-only template with instructions for creating a Docker container.

https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/#containers

A container is a runnable instance of an image.

Location

https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/#images

Suggestion

The "container" and the "image" definitions need to be updated. From the overview section, https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/#the-docker-platform

Docker provides the ability to package and run an application in a loosely isolated environment called a container.

So at least, place this information inside the "container" section and maybe put the "container" section before an "image" section?
