Enterprise Linux as Container Images

What if you could manage your entire operating system with the same GitOps pipelines you use for applications? Learn how with bootable containers.

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.
