This week’s highlighted open-source project originated at VMware. Tern is a tool that looks through container images and finds software packages and image metadata.
It provides admins with a better understanding of the bill of materials for a container. This allows them to make more well-informed decisions about container-based infrastructure, integration, and deployment strategies.
Earlier this month, Tern 1.0.0 was released. This release is non-backwards-compatible, so the Linux Foundation recommends users upgrade to this version.

According to the Linux Foundation, Tern 1.0.0 introduces the ability to customize report plugins, use raw image tarballs, continue to analyze the base image when a Docker build fails, and exit if Docker is not installed or properly setup. There were also a number of bug fixes that helped improve Tern’s overall stability.
More information on Tern, including how to set it up, can be found here.
