What do folks think about this? I have encountered the licensing challenges of local development with RHEL 7 containers. The workaround for it put us in a weird spot with licensing even though we were paying for RHEL 7 on the host OS. We had reached out to our Red Hat reps and even they did not seem to understand the issues at play. It seems like this move will really simplify the whole thing. The post is a little unclear on the technical details. Will these images have access to install packages from RHEL yum repos even for users who do not pay for RHEL support? Also, what, if any, effect do folks here think this will have on CentOS? I certainly like the option of being able to start with UBI or UBI minimal images with no support and being able to buy support when needed without re-tooling the stack.
