In this hands-on lab, we are going to use Cockpit to create user accounts and manage the life cycle of a Docker image. The first step will be to log in to Cockpit and create two user accounts in the `Accounts` module. This will be followed by confirming the `Containers` module is installed and then download the container image for testing. The last step will be to use the `Containers` module and simulate a container life cycle using the downloaded image.
