"Docker is making its Docker Hardened Images available free of charge and open source. In doing so, the company is changing the conditions under which pre-secured container images can be used, a segment that until now has been largely commercially available. The images are based on Debian and Alpine and are released under the Apache 2.0 license. Docker Hardened Images are intended as a basis for building and running container applications."
"They are pre-customized by Docker to limit the number of known vulnerabilities and contain additional metadata about their origin and composition. Until recently, these images were only available within paid subscriptions. With the release, that restriction disappears and they become accessible to individual developers, teams, and organizations without license fees. The timing of the announcement coincides with a broader focus on software supply chain security."
Docker is making Docker Hardened Images available free of charge and open source under the Apache 2.0 license. The images are based on Debian and Alpine and are pre-customized to reduce the number of known vulnerabilities while carrying additional metadata about origin and composition. The images serve as a generic starting point for building and running container applications and remain compatible with existing workflows and tooling. The Hardened Images were previously restricted to paid subscriptions but are now accessible to individual developers, teams, and organizations without license fees. Docker is applying the same hardened approach to Model Context Protocol servers used by AI assistants to address new infrastructure security risks.
