Description
Allowing container images to reside within the container platform registry that are not essential to the capabilities being offered by the container platform becomes a potential security risk. By allowing these non-essential container images to exist, the possibility for accidental instantiation exists. The images may be unpatched, not supported, or offer non-approved capabilities. Those images for customer services are considered essential capabilities.
