Enterprise Linux as Container Images

#1about 3 minutes
Overcoming the challenges of traditional OS management
Traditional OS management is complex due to configuration drift and security hardening, whereas container workflows offer a familiar and standardized model.
#2about 3 minutes
Introducing image mode to unify OS and app delivery
Image mode bridges the gap between package-based OS installation and application containers by using the same tooling and workflows for both.
#3about 3 minutes
Building a bootable Linux OS with a containerfile
The bootc technology allows you to define a complete, bootable operating system using a standard containerfile and a special base image like rel-bootc.
#4about 3 minutes
Deploying OS container images to any target platform
Use the bootc image builder tool to convert an OS container image from a registry into bootable formats for bare metal, cloud (AMI), or VMs (VMDK).
#5about 2 minutes
Performing atomic updates and rollbacks for the OS
The bootc tool on a running system enables transactional, image-based updates by pulling new versions from a registry and maintaining the old version for easy rollbacks.
#6about 5 minutes
Applying GitOps workflows to enterprise Linux management
By managing the OS via containerfiles in version control, you can implement a full GitOps pipeline for automated builds, testing, and deployments across your fleet.
#7about 1 minute
How to get started with image mode for your OS
Image mode is generally available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS Stream, and Fedora, allowing you to easily try out this new OS management paradigm.
