Containers, your way

  • Maintained and compliant

  • Support for any open source software

  • On any Kubernetes

Familiar for developers, as dependable as Ubuntu

Rely on Ubuntu's demonstrated track record for containers that are:

  • Supported. Timely updates and patches, building on Ubuntu's security track record.
  • Stable. Long-term support with a consistent, predictable lifecycle and support commitment.
  • Seamless. Developer-friendly, smooth experience from development to production.
  • Small. Ultra-small, resource-efficient, yet robust images with chiseled (distroless) Ubuntu.

Critical CVE fixes in 24 hours

Scanning container images for vulnerabilities is now widespread, but fixing them requires dedicated skills and infrastructure. Trusted provenance is key.

Canonical's OCI images provide ready-to-use images, free of high and critical CVEs. Images are built on the same trusted infrastructure in Ubuntu, and updated automatically when apps or dependencies are fixed.
