About this image
Platform image
The default (platform) image is a general-purpose image with a full DNF stack and basic tools like find, tar, vi, etc.
The almalinux:latest tag will always point to the latest stable release of the default image. Major releases and minor releases are also tagged with their version (e.g. almalinux:8 or almalinux:8.4).
Minimal image
The minimal image is a stripped-down image that uses the microdnf package manager and contains a very limited package set. It is designed for applications that come with their own dependencies bundled (e.g. NodeJS, Python).
The almalinux:minimal tag always points to the most recent version of the minimal image. Tags for major (e.g. almalinux:8-minimal) and minor (e.g. almalinux:8.4-minimal) releases are also available.
Upgrade policy
All images for supported releases will be updated monthly or as needed for security fixes.
