Red Hat Universal Base Image

This is why we have offered Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) images since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 GA, to offer customers certified and up-to-date enterprise-grade containers. With the release of the Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI), you can now take advantage of the greater reliability, security, and performance of official Red Hat container images where OCI-compliant Linux containers run – whether you’re a customer or not. Red Hat Enterprise Linux serves as a great host and image for containers, but for many developers, they need to support a wider range of use cases, some of which may be outside of the supported scenarios for the world’s leading enterprise Linux operating system.
