    With the growth in the use of containers, the need to bundle your application into a container has never been stronger. Many Red Hat customers will be familiar with Source-to-Image (S2I) as an easy way to build container images from application source code. While S2I is a convenient way to build images on Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat works to support our customers when using a variety of approaches, and we’ve recently seen an increasing interest in building applications using Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Buildpacks. 

    Below is a list of essential Buildpacks resources from our Node.js team at Red Hat.

    Getting Started Building

    With any new topic, it is important to start at the beginning.  For those of you who are curious to find out more about buildpacks, what they are and how to get started, the below article will help with that:

    • Build applications with Paketo Buildpacks and Red Hat UBI container images

       

    Getting Started Running

    Once you are familiar with how to build containers with Buildpacks, it is time to start running them on a cluster.  The below article has great information on this:

    • Running applications with Paketo Buildpacks and Red Hat UBI container images in OpenShift
