Updating your nim base os

Both the host and containers have their own, independent, sets of packages that need updating and updating on the host will not update any packages inside the containers.With the release of RHEL 7 where Docker containers are especially featured, it would be interesting to hear what Redhat's recommended way to handle security updates of containers is.The packages you should have to update would be those that are a part of your Docker File, and since you have the Docker File, you should be able to to keep track of those packages and container IDs that need updates.Cloudstein's UI that will be released soon keeps track of these Docker File ingredients for you so that one can build the update scheme that fits best for their containers.Be sure to read your motherboard's manual thoroughly before attempting to flash your BIOS or update your motherboard's chipset drivers.
The container should be a fairly lightweight and small subset of the full file system your accustomed to seeing in the past.
If your container has a security problem, you rebuild a version of the container that's patched and deploy the new container.
