Service Fabric treats a container as an application host capable of hosting multiple service replicas. To deploy and activate a container, the name of the container image must be put into the ContainerHost element of the service manifest. The following example deploys a container called myimage:v1 from a repository myrepo:

<CodePackage Name="Code" Version="1.0"> 
    <EntryPoint> 
      <ContainerHost> 
        <ImageName>myrepo/myimagename:v1</ImageName> 
        <Commands></Commands> 
      </ContainerHost> 
    </EntryPoint> 
</CodePackage> 

The Commands element can be used to pass commands to the container image. The element can take comma-separated values as commands.
