## Description

With image mode available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, CentOS Stream and Fedora, container technology 
isn’t just for apps—it now defines the OS itself. This session introduces image mode and bootc, showing developers 
how to build and manage complete, bootable & immutable Linux systems as container images to run everywhere from 
bare metal to cloud instances. Learn how this approach simplifies deployments, enhances security, and aligns with 
modern DevOps workflows like GitOps and CI/CD.
