# Snyk Container

{% hint style="info" %}
To learn more about container security, see [Container security](https://snyk.io/learn/container-security/?_gl=1*ue4hic*_ga*MTYzMjUyMDYwNC4xNjg4OTkzNjQ2*_ga_X9SH3KP7B4*MTY5NzcxMDUyOS4xODMuMS4xNjk3NzEzMDI3LjU1LjAuMA..).

Containers provide a standard packaging format for applications, but container images can be opaque. This can lead to problems when identifying the software and the vulnerabilities they contain.

## Snyk Container functions

Snyk Container provides tools and integrations to quickly find and fix vulnerabilities. This allows you to create images that have security built-in from the start.

## Snyk Container integrations

Snyk Container provides a range of integrations to import Projects into Snyk. These integrations support different workflows.

For details on available integrations, see [Container registry integrations](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container/container-registry-integrations.md) and [Kubernetes integration](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container/kubernetes-integration.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
