The images are built on Chainguard OS, a Linux distribution designed for secure software distribution. Additional capabilities include private APK repositories for accessing packages, custom assembly for adding packages to images, end-of-life grace period support for legacy software transitions, and CVE visualization tools for tracking image health and remediation over time.
