Testing frameworks for images built via Red Hat Lightspeed image builder

Building images for cloud deployments or on-premises servers provides a number of challenges. These include reducing the attack surface, ensuring the images are hardened, and monitoring their compliance on an ongoing basis. We will explore how Red Hat® Lightspeed (formerly Insights) can achieve what no other service can by leveraging Red Hat’s Open Hybrid cloud strategy.

In this learning path, you’ll learn how to build pre-hardened images using Lightspeed image builder. The subsequent resource will then cover how to monitor the system’s compliance using Lightspeed Compliance. We’ll then compare that monitoring approach to using custom-built testing frameworks leveraging tools such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Hub.
