On November 30, 2020, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 transitioned from the Maintenance Phase to the Extended Life Phase. Software maintenance, new bug fixes and security errata will no longer be provided for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 product family. This means the rhel6-based container images, such as rhel6/rhel, rhel6, and rhel6-init images will no longer be built by Red Hat. If you need to continue to use these images, customers will need a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Lifecycle Support add-on subscription and will need to apply this limited set of software updates to all rhel6-based container images in use. For more information, please refer to this Red Hats Knowledge Base article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5578191
This base image provides your operations and application teams with the packages, language runtimes and tools necessary to run, maintain, and troubleshoot all of your applications. It is designed and engineered to be the base layer for all of your containerized applications, middleware and utilities. When used as the source for all of your containers, only one copy will ever be downloaded and cached in your production environment. Use this image just like you would a regular Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution. Tools like yum, gzip, and bash are provided by default. For further information on how this image was built look at the /root/anacanda-ks.cfg file.
