# Amazon Linux container images

This repository contains the base container images for Amazon Linux on

[Docker Hub][dockerhub] and [Amazon Elastic Container Registry][ecr].

This is more of an *artifact store* than a Git repository, for reasons

explained later. Please note that **branches other than `master` are

regularly force-pushed, and content may disappear without warning**. For

more reliable sources of Amazon Linux container images, use the

[Amazon Linux on-premises image download site][onprem], Docker Hub, or

Amazon ECR.

## What we're doing here

The [Docker Official Images program][doi] produces the top-level images

available on Docker Hub, including the base OS images that serve as a

starting point for most Docker users.

The images are maintained in the open. Image generation starts from a

file in [docker-library/official-images.git][doi-git] named

[library/amazonlinux][doi-git-al]. This file is machine-readable and

connects image tags to a Git repository and commit.

During image build, the build system clones the referenced Git

repository at a given commit and runs `docker build` in that directory.

For application images, this usually involves downloading and installing

software. For base OS images, this means adding the contents of a

tarball as a single layer.

## Distribution SLAs

Amazon Linux is able to update our first-party sources (ECR) same-day as

the associated AMI release. To reduce the operational load on the Docker

Official Images program, we batch our OS releases and submit them

weekly.
