## What it is
A collection of official Dockerfiles maintained by the CentOS project for building common application container images on CentOS base images. Built images are published to the CentOS namespace on the Docker index.

## Use cases
- build docker images based on centos
- containerize common services like httpd on centos
- find reference dockerfiles for centos 6 and 7
- publish centos-based images to docker hub
- learn how to write dockerfiles with build and run examples

## When to choose
- you need official, maintained CentOS-based container images
- you want reference examples of Dockerfile conventions for CentOS
- you are standardizing on CentOS as a container base OS

## When to avoid
- you use Ubuntu, Debian, or Alpine base images
- you need actively updated images for modern CentOS Stream or RHEL
- you need application code rather than container build definitions

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: maintenance
- function: container-runtime, deployment, developer-tools
- domain: cloud-computing
- platform: cloud
- tags: dockerfiles, centos, container-images, docker-hub, containers, devops, docker, linux
