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.
