Red Hat Announces Project Hummingbird

By

The project provides a curated catalog of hardened container images.

Red Hat has announced Project Hummingbird, a new collection of minimal, hardened images built to address security and compliance concerns.

This early access program provides a curated catalog of hardened, verifiable container images that can help organizations reduce attack surfaces without compromising production.

“Project Hummingbird is designed to remove that trade-off by providing a minimal, trusted, and transparent zero-CVE foundation for building cloud-native applications,” says Gunnar Hellekson

vice president and general manager, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The selection of tested container images includes:

  • Languages and runtimes, such as .NET, Go, Java, and Node
  • Databases, such as MariaDB and PostgreSQL
  • Web servers and proxies with Nginx, Caddy, etc.
  • Other foundational components for modern application stacks
