We hear from customers around the world that their ability to create value for their end customers, both internal and external, depends on your ability to deliver applications and services faster.
Containers and Kubernetes fundamentally enable DevOps, microservices, AI/ML and cloud-native application development, and which is deployed across the hybrid cloud. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) bootc images enable you to build, deploy, and manage the operating system as if it is any other container. You can converge on a single container-native workflow to manage everything from your applications to the underlying OS.
In this presentation you will learn how to use image mode for RHEL to build, test, and deploy operating systems by using the same tools and techniques as application containers. Image mode for RHEL uses the same tools, skills, and patterns as containerized applications to deliver an operating system that is easy to build, ship, and run. This presentation will cover the concepts behind image mode and help introduce foundational concepts required to package operating systems in Open Container Initiative (OCI) container images.
We will also introduce artificial intelligence (AI) concepts, models, and application recipes to allow users to explore how to package AI tools as containers and prepare them for installation as a bootable container image.
This presentation is appropriate for developers, system administrators, and data scientists interested in building and packaging AI tools. You'll learn and understand the concepts behind RHEL image mode.
