Hello,

the most common answers are related to the hardrive resources full, so I guess you can check and confirm on that too. You can try to increase the container download timeout:

Configure container image download time

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-get-started-containers#configure-container-image-download-time

But mainly you should make sure you target the correct version of the (base) image:

Docker images for ASP.NET
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/docker/building-net-docker-images?view=aspnetcore-5.0

Tutorial: Containerize a .NET Core app
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/docker/build-container?tabs=windows

The version of the image must be compatible with the version of Windows you're running on the host.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/version-compatibility?tabs=windows-server-2022%2Cwindows-10-21H1

What happens if you log into the nodes and download base image manually with docker pull?
