The Problem:
When attempting to run a HelloTest that utilizes GenericContainer from the Testcontainers library, an exception with the message "Container startup failed" was encountered. This problem typically arises when the container is unable to start successfully, often due to issues with the container image or configuration. Examining the error message reveals that the "hello-world:latest" image could not be created or started. This may indicate that the image is inaccessible or that the container configuration is invalid.
