+# External Pods Integration
+
+A container for integrating external Docker images into the build process.
+
+Implements two entry points consumed by the Rush build process: "docker:build" and "docker:push".
+
+## docker:build
+
+Imports external images into the local registry. The `services.d/` directory contains files that describe external images. A 'local' tag is applied to imported images.
+
+## docker:push
+
+Copies external images into the official registry (hardcoreeng). A git-based `git describe --tags --abbrev=0` tag is applied to copied images.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Each file in the `services.d/` directory describes a single external image. Only the first line in every file is used. The line should follow this format:
+
+```
+<repository> <external_registry>/<repository>:<tag>
+```
+
+If the file name starts with "-", it will be ignored. Lines starting with "#" are also ignored.
+
+## More information
+
+More details are available in the [Design Document](https://app.hc.engineering/workbench/platform/document/external-services-build-682232fa8c2a2eb48ffe47d5)
