Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #153 and the current GitHub Release process for the Docker image. Compare the existing mssql-tools Docker Hub release with the Docker Hub and MCR options described here; done means the go-sqlcmd image is published with correct registry tags rather than only attached to a GitHub Release.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As of #153 the docker image is being provided via Github Release Page, which is not optimal

Previous mssql-tools are correctly released: https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-tools

New go-sqlcmd docker image is expected to be correctly tagged on a registry, being it Dockerhub or Microsoft's own MCR https://mcr.microsoft.com

Current workaround provided by third-party:
