* "latest" and "light" are synonyms, and are built from a branch in this
repository called "stable".
* "beta" is built from a branch called "beta".
All of these branches should be updated only to _tagged_ commits, and only when
it is desirable to create a new release image.
## The `full` and `master` images image
This configuration does not produce the "full" image. That is instead produced
by the `Dockerfile` in the repository root, driven by updates to the "stable"
branch.
The "master" tag is updated for _every_ commit to the master branch of
the Terraform core repository. It is not recommended to use these images for
any production use, but they can be useful for testing bleeding-edge features
that are not yet included in a release.
