Introducing the Red Hat Universal Base Image

Introducing the Red Hat Universal Base Image Reasons to use UBI UBI is more than just a base image Four UBI base images compared Micro : Designed for applications that contain their own dependencies (Python, Node. js,. NET, etc. ) Minimal: Designed for applications containing their own dependencies (Python, Node. js,. NET) Standard: For any application that runs on RHEL Multi-service: Simplifies running multiple services in a single container Pre-built language runtime container images for developers RHEL is the foundation Getting started with UBI Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform | Product Trial About the author Scott McCarty More like this Red Hat Enterprise Linux now supported for Microsoft SQL Server on Azure VMs with SQL IaaS Agent extension Red Hat Enterprise Linux is ready for AWS M9g instances, powered by Graviton5 OS Wars_part 1 | Command Line Heroes OS Wars_part 2: Rise of Linux | Command Line Heroes Browse by channel Automation Artificial intelligence Open hybrid cloud Security Edge computing Infrastructure Applications Virtualization Share There are a lot of choices when it comes to container base images, so why should you select Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI)? First of all, the code in Red Hat Universal Base Image is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and the mission of RHEL is to be your source for safe and reliable Linux innovation that makes your workloads successful. Because all containers are Linux, and UBI is derived from RHEL, the same values apply to UBI, including: Innovate: Organizations are constantly looking to innovate quickly without friction and provide consistency from the data center to the edge by streamlining operations and centralizing development and management. Optimize: Infrastructure complexity can easily increase costs and decrease efficiency. Protect: Continuously mitigating risk across the hybrid cloud, including building, scaling and managing workloads, can be a challenge for most organizations. Trust: It is a never-ending challenge for organizations to manage the complexity of their application life cycles and workload compatibility, security patching and compliance reporting. Red Hat has produced base images since RHEL 7 (which included RHEL 6 images). Running a RHEL container image on a RHEL container host offers compatibility and portability between environments (not to mention familiarity).
