Get started with Lightwell Network
Get started with Lightwell Network by learning how patched artifacts are versioned, choosing the right repository for your environment, and configuring your artifact repository manager or build tool to consume secure dependencies from Red Hat.
- Choose the right repository for your environment
The Lightwell Network provides two repository tiers for each language ecosystem: Validated and Remediated. Both tiers deliver artifacts in the native format for your ecosystem. - Remediated repository version suffixes
If you are using the Lightwell Network Remediated repository, your artifacts include backported security fixes identified by a version suffix. - Lightwell Network repository access
Access to the Lightwell Network is controlled through Red Hat entitlement certificates. Each certificate is linked to your organization ID, ensuring that your build tool can only resolve artifacts from repositories you are authorized to access. - Create a Lightwell Network service account
Create a registry service account to authenticate your build tools with the Lightwell Network.
