See:

Arch Wiki on CD Burning
Arch Wiki on DVD Burning Example:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/dvdimage.iso
Arch Wiki on Copying Install ISOs to a USB key, though note that mkarchiso generates hybrid ISOs, whereas as far as I know, alpine-iso does not

To do the converse operation, copying a CD to an ISO image, just do:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/cdimage.iso

To mount an ISO without physically burning it to a CD:

modprobe loop mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 /path/to/cdimage.iso /mnt

or see Arch Wiki on fuseiso.
