Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

cvp:3 docker epic tdp:1

Build and validate RHEL container images.

Background

First-party Posit product images ship on Ubuntu only today. RHEL/UBI
(registry.access.redhat.com/ubiN/ubi) support has never been attempted
for Connect or Workbench; Package Manager has one in-flight attempt
(images-package-manager#103, not yet merged).

Depends on:

Goals

  • Standard and Minimal builds of package-manager, connect, and workbench
    on RHEL 10 (UBI), amd64 + arm64
  • RHEL 10 support for the connect-content/connect-content-init and
    workbench-session/workbench-session-init matrix and init images
  • The images EKS smoke-test pipeline (platform-team#443) validates
    RHEL10/UBI image variants the same way it validates Ubuntu images

External Dependencies and Blockers

  • rstudio/r-builds#329 (merged) already fixes the flexiblas-devel hard
    dependency that blocks R on UBI 9/10 — consuming repos just need R
    4.6.1+ to pick it up.
  • platform-infra#293 is tracked under the test-automation epic
    (platform-team#443), not natively under this epic.

Notes

Phase 1 (package-manager) in progress: images-package-manager#103,
tracked via images-package-manager#130.
