Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 and 9.1, image builder offers an easy way to embed containers. RHEL image builder works at build time and allows for containerized applications or services to be baked in, making the resulting images near production-ready. Furthermore, the image builder team worked with the OpenSCAP team to deliver security-hardened images. The OpenSCAP project provides security guidelines and baselines for securing images. This integration uses existing OpenSCAP tooling to run security remediation during the image build process.
How to embed the container
Containers can now be embedded into images at build time. The source of the container can be specified in the blueprint with the following:

on various pages of this capsule and may have wondered about the adjective. The argument is simple: the web is old, with an origin of 1990, or so. Gemini is much newer, let us say 2020. Since gemini is newer, gemini must be better. Therefore the web is worse, and so we mark it as "the Legacy Web" because it is old, and therefore bad.
Internet Relay Chat? Old, 1990s. Therefore bad. Now you have a go! It is _____ (year) and ________ (technology) is old and therefore bad.
Why is something newer better? Here we must touch on the Myth of Progress, which states that things get better over time. Therefore, newer things must be better than older things, therefore we tag older things as worse, because, well, all sorts of progress has been made since whenever. That this logic is about as airtight as a bicycle basket is really besides the point.

The only one I ever used was XSLT, which was conceptually fine, but expressed in XML tags and XPath, which was... not great. The input is some XML on which it does pattern matching, finding templates to apply. It can spit out whatever you want. In my case it was HTML so the whole thing was a forest of angle brackets. This was a long time ago now, and never since have I had a problem that I wanted to solve with XSLT.
I had a colleague who was keen on Prolog. I've never used it, but it seems that you define rules rather than how to apply them, and Prolog figures out what it's going to do.
