Generally I find production-ready images have more synergy and tend to be web-scale. Often they're built from the ground up for AI & are blazing fast, at scale, and empower your team whilst unlocking new possibilities. As my sibling comment suggests, being cloud-native is a crucial factor too.

It's not an image—it's an image on the edge.

No cruft. No legacy formats.

Just buttery smooth production readiness.
