Container Log

Definitions

1. The log output emitted by a running container, typically collected from stdout, stderr, or log files and aggregated by the platform. Container logs are central to debugging in ephemeral environments because the local container filesystem may disappear once the workload exits or is replaced.

   In plain English: The log output produced by a running container.

   Example: "The only clue to the crash loop was in the container log, which showed a missing environment variable during the app's first startup phase."
