Custom Images

This section provides guidance for building and deploying custom Docker images as Qiskit Functions.

Custom images allow providers to:

• Include specialized dependencies and libraries

• Use specific Python versions or system packages

• Pre-install large datasets or models

• Optimize runtime performance

• Create reusable function templates

This is an advanced feature typically used by function providers who need full control over the execution environment.

• Deploy a Custom Function Image
• Example entrypoint and Dockerfile
