Vulnerability management tools - Stack Images

HyScale enterprise platform has pre-installed OS images. It provides an option to import distroless images as well from external and use it as a base image. Think of its structure as a stack of objects. OS image as a base, then stack image, and finally, application artifacts at the top level where the users take care of this stage.

If you take a deeper look at any microservice container image, there are broadly three categories of packages installed inside.

OS level packages – packages that come along with the chosen operating system
Stack packages – jdk, python, tomcat etc.
Application artifact – war files, jar files, python packages, go binary, etc. This is the variable part where the code resides
