RSVP for the next Melbourne RHUG!

**REGISTER HERE: [https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4816596/rhexpressregistration/page/expressregistration?sc\_cid=RHCTN1260000493939](https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4816596/rhexpressregistration/page/expressregistration?sc_cid=RHCTN1260000493939)** Hi, Transitioning to image-mode operating systems provides immutability, but verifying and trusting the operating system underneath your applications requires a clear assurance strategy. Join us for the next [Melbourne Red Hat User Group (RHUG)](https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4816596/rhexpressregistration/page/expressregistration?sc_cid=RHCTN1260000493939) meeting to examine a practical field report on moving from basic immutable images to fully assured boot states using CI/CD pipelines and bootc.
\### Key Topics
- OS Assurance: Moving beyond basic immutability to verify and trust the operating system layer. - CI/CD Integration: Leveraging bootc and CI/CD pipelines to automate image-mode OS creation and deployment. - Field Report Insights: Lessons drawn from homelab implementations and defense/intelligence engineering requirements. - Networking: Connect with local IT leaders and peers over food and drinks.
