Image mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Learn how you can run RHEL on Windows as a Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution using Red Hat Enterprise Linux image builder.

With bootc (bootable containers), you can use the same container technology for building and managing immutable operating systems. Check out these two video demos and learn how to get started.

Aside from naming and versioning, managing sensitive assets, like credentials, is one of the more challenging aspects in technology. So, why is it so difficult? Well, to start off. What may be considered a sensitive asset to one individual or organization may not be the same as another. Also, given that there are so many different ways that sensitive assets can be managed, there is no universally accepted method available.
The challenges that encompass how sensitive assets are handled also apply to image mode, a new method that enables building and deploying Operating Systems using similar tools and approaches as any other traditional container. In this article, we will discuss the types of sensitive assets that apply to image mode for RHEL specifically and how to design appropriate workflows to incorporate secure practices within all phases, from build and deployment to runtime.

Create OCI-compliant, bootc container images with image mode for Red Hat

Image mode for RHEL extends many of the benefits of running containers and applies them to building, deploying and managing traditional Operating System environments.

While the VMDK format is open source, they are traditionally used within the VMware family of solutions, such as VMware Workstation and VMware vSphere. In this post, we will describe how the previously created VMDK disk can be used as the basis for a virtual machine hosted in a VMware vSphere environment.
