Image 'LastUpdatedTime' date differs from DockerHub documentation

[AndreyKoltsov1997]

Hello,

I'm using mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver (ltsc2022, 1809) as a base for some of my images. Looking at the Microsoft/Nano Server page on Dockerhub, the last update time for both of them is set to 03/12/2024.

Recently, I've noticed a size increase in my images built after 03/12/2024.

Wihle investigating it, I've noticed the following changes in metadata:
1. OS version

• 1809 tag: 10.0.17763.5696 was changed to 10.0.17763.5820;
• ltsc2022 tag: 10.0.20348.2402 was changed to 10.0.20348.2461;

2. Image creation time obtained via Docker CLI.

• 1809 tag: 03/12/2024 -> 05/10/2024
• ltsc2022 tag: 03/12/2024 -> 05/10/2024

# 1. 1809
$ docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022  &&\
   docker image inspect mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022 
... 
        "Created": "2024-05-10T20:16:48.9651239Z"

# 2. LTSC 2022
$ docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1809  && \
    docker image inspect mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:1809

        "Created": "2024-05-10T20:21:42.0775987Z"
        … 

Could you, please, kindly suggest if Nano Server images have received any updates recently? This would greatly simplify tracking changes in images built on top of them.

Thank you!

@deverouxmartin-msft Would you know the answer to the question about Nano Server images being recently updated?

I believe what you get from the docker CLI is correct, the latest version for 2022 is 2461 and for 1809 is 5820. I think maybe the doc in here https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-nanoserver will need to be updated

@vrapolinario Would you be able to contact someone at Docker to get our docs updated?

Let's discuss this internally.
For transparency with our customers: Microsoft is responsible for the description of Windows images on Docker Hub. The ownership of this has changed hands internally, so we need to fix this to ensure we have a proper process to keep the page updated.
