+Create a `Dockerfile`

+# Use a CentOS base image as required by the yum commands
+FROM centos:7
+
+# Set the environment variable for non-interactive operations

+# --- FIX FOR CENTOS 7 REPOSITORY ISSUE (BASEURL ERROR) ---
+# CentOS 7 repositories have been moved to the vault, causing 'Cannot find a valid baseurl' errors.
+# This command updates the configuration files to point to the vault URL by commenting out mirrorlist
+# and uncommenting/updating the baseurl to point to vault.centos.org.
+RUN sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-* && \
+    sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*

+# 2. Clone the wrk2 repository
+WORKDIR /usr/src/wrk2
+RUN git clone https://github.com/giltene/wrk2.git .
+
+# 3. Build the executable
+RUN make
