+# Container image updates in .NET 11 RC 1 - Release Notes
+
+At the time these notes were drafted, Azure Linux 3.0 images for .NET 11 had
+been restored only on the `nightly` branch of `dotnet/dotnet-docker`
+([dotnet/dotnet-docker #7321](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/pull/7321)).
+Their publication in the official .NET 11 RC 1 repositories has not yet been
+confirmed, so this note does not claim that the images are available in RC 1.
+
+<!-- TODO: Before publication, confirm that the .NET 11 RC 1 Azure Linux 3.0
+     SDK, ASP.NET Core, runtime, and runtime-deps tags were promoted to the
+     official Microsoft Artifact Registry. If confirmed, replace the cautious
+     text above with the supported tag families and link to
+     dotnet/dotnet-docker #7321. If not confirmed, keep this file as a stub. -->
