Building Red Hat Enterprise Linux images the new way

AI inference at the edge using OpenShift AI

In this episode, we will explore Image Mode for RHEL, a modern approach to building, deploying, and managing RHEL systems. Unlike traditional RHEL installations, Image Mode leverages bootc and ostree technologies to create immutable, version-controlled operating system images based on OCI containers. This approach offers significant advantages in consistency, security, and scalability for creating custom images based on RHEL. Join us and learn about: - What is Image Mode for RHEL? - How to build a custom image - Utilize GitOps to build, deploy, and manage your custom image - Enterprise Use Cases for Image Mode for RHEL - AI/ML Stacks - Containerization of the VM - Edge Appliances - Standalone Container Hosts Real World Use Cases of bootc and ostree: - Bazzite (https://bazzite.gg) - Bluefin (https://projectbluefin.io)
