Why do enterprises need
custom Docker images?

Standard docker images sometimes don’t work out-of-the-box. Enterprises may require customization to meet compliance, security, and operational needs. Dependency management and manually customizing images is complex and results in security headaches – Canonical makes it simple.


Security and compliance

Meet industry standards like CIS benchmarks and FIPS compliance with signed, trusted images.


Enterprise-wide requirements

Ensures every image includes packages and libraries that simplifies management and troubleshooting, which may fulfill enterprise -wide requirements.


Application-specific customization

Customize images with specific dependencies without breaking SLAs or compromising security.
