a common practice is to read annotations at _image indexes_ if present,
which are often used by multi-arch builds to index platform-specific images.
If you want to specify level(s) for your annotations, you can use the
[`DOCKER_METADATA_ANNOTATIONS_LEVELS` environment variable](#environment-variables) [`DOCKER_METADATA_ANNOTATIONS_LEVELS` environment variable](#environment-variables)
with a comma separated list of levels (defaults to `manifest`): with a comma separated list of all levels the annotations should be attached to (defaults to `manifest`).
The following configuration demonstrates the ability to attach annotations to both image manifests and image indexes,
though your registry may only need annotations at the index level. (That is, `index` alone may be enough.)
Please consult the documentation of your registry.
