About:
CEKit or Container Evolution Kit is a tool for building container images. It supports multiple build engines like Docker and Podman and integrates with OSBS for Red Hat Container Catalog. Its main value is enabling a 'build once, deploy anywhere' workflow using templates and modules.
Key Features:
  • Supports Docker, Podman, and Buildah build engines
  • Modular image definition using YAML
  • Integration with OSBS for enterprise container builds
  • Handles image testing and validation
Use Cases:
  • Automating container image builds for CI/CD pipelines
  • Creating reproducible and maintainable container images
  • Building images for Red Hat OpenShift and RHEL environments
Alternatives:
  • Dockerfile – CEKit offers a higher-level abstraction with YAML and modularity, whereas Dockerfiles are imperative and monolithic.
  • S2I (Source-to-Image) – S2I focuses on building images from source code, while CEKit is more focused on defining the image structure and dependencies.
