If your platform standard is Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), this update makes life easier. Hyperglance now ships UBI9-based container images by default via our installer and Helm chart.
Why This Matters
- RHEL-friendly by design: UBI (Universal Base Image) is Red Hat’s enterprise container OS.
- Security-first: Built on DoD Platform One Iron Bank base images—STIG-hardened and FIPS-compatible; those base layers are open-source for transparency.
- Automatic FIPS: On FIPS-enabled RHEL hosts, Hyperglance images auto-enable FIPS.
- Flexible paths: Ubuntu-based images remain fully supported.
“We’re excited to offer UBI images to deliver the best experience for customers in the Red Hat ecosystem.” - David Gill (CTO)
What About PostgreSQL?
Our PostgreSQL container hasn’t moved to UBI9 yet. If you need an end-to-end UBI footprint today, simply point Hyperglance at an external PostgreSQL service (e.g., Amazon RDS/Aurora). We’ll ship a UBI9 Postgres image soon.
Are the Containers Open-Source?
Hyperglance’s application containers are proprietary. The Iron Bank base layers we build on are open-source, STIG-hardened, and FIPS-compatible.
Next Steps
- New deployments: You’ll get UBI9 by default.
- Existing RHEL customers: You can switch to UBI on your timeline; Ubuntu images aren’t going anywhere.
