Container Images

The container images in this repository are built using Dockerfiles located in the ContainerFiles directory. Each image is designed to provide a specific OpenStack service or functionality, and they are built with security patches applied through scripts located in the scripts directory.

Images follow a similar build process, which includes

  1. Base Image: Starting from a base image, typically an OpenStack virtual environment.
  2. Install Packages: Installing the necessary packages for the service.
  3. Apply CVE Patches: Applying security patches to ensure the image is secure.
  4. Configure Service: Configuring the service to be ready for deployment.
  5. Container Ready: Finalizing the image for use in a containerized environment.

All images are built with upstream official images as a base and are designed to be compatible with the OpenStack ecosystem.
