Moving from Minimus to Docker Hardened Images | Docker

This post announces the cessation of operations for Minimus, a competitor in the hardened images space, and provides a migration path for their customers to Docker Hardened Images (DHI). It details the practical implications of Minimus ending operations, including the 60-day maintenance window and the eventual offline status of their registry. Docker offers free migration assistance and highlights the ease of migration to DHI, emphasizing minimal workflow changes and drop-in compatibility. The post also reiterates the features of DHI, such as minimal, hardened images, continuous maintenance, CVE visibility, SBOM, SLSA provenance, and cryptographic signatures, along with paid tier benefits like SLA-backed remediation and extended coverage.
