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
