Discover Vulnerable Base Images
Secure the source of your containers. Aikido maps every image to its base and shows where a Root-maintained ELS image can remove risk fast.
Find & Fix at the Source Layer
Swap to a hardened ELS image. No rewrites, minimal change risk. Downstream containers get safer by default.Prioritized Suggestions: Aikido surfaces the ELS option where it cuts the most risk.

One-sentence pitch: “Aikido + Root turns base-image patching into a safe, automated PR workflow that proves risk is going down without slowing releases.
What are the main features of ELS containers?
Auto-discovery of vulnerable base images; a clear indication when an ELS replacement exists; one-click AutoFix PRs that update the Dockerfile; continuous prompts when newer ELS builds land; support for both amd64/arm64 architectures; policy controls to gate merges that ignore available fixes; visibility of blast radius (which services inherit each base).
What is the main value that ELS containers bring?
It lets teams remove High and Critical CVEs from base images without bumping OS versions or risking dependency breakage. By swapping the FROM line to an ELS image, you harden your base layers quickly, cut risk and audit noise, and keep delivery velocity intact.
