A Safer Container Ecosystem with Docker: Free Docker Hardened Images

The proximity of this and Bitnami (owned by Qualcomm) pulling their 'free hardened images' is amusing, and I'm just as concerned about another (eventual, but imminent) rug-pull down the line. Docker Inc historically is rather comfortable with the typical VC-fueled strat of:

'generous' initial offering to establish a userbase/ecosystem/network-effect
"oh teehee we're actually gonna have to start charging for that sorry we know that you've potentially built a lot of your infrastructure around this thing"
$$$

Do they explain somewhere how they build these? Is the build open source?

yup, here: https://docs.docker.com/dhi/explore/build-process/

  In the documented build pipeline, actually assembling the image is missing.
