derwenai/ray_base repository overview

The base images for Ray provided by Anyscale are problematic for enterprise production use in regulated environments, due to several concerns regarding security vulnerabilities and operational practices in general.

The https://github.com/DerwenAI/ray_base⁠ repo on GitHub shows how to:

1. build a Ray wheel locally for a specific release and platform
2. build a Ray base image from a local wheel
3. perform a vulnerability scan using grype⁠
4. push the base image here to DockerHub

This way a development team can iterate on security scans and fixes, to get these Ray base images into compliance for corporate requirements.

In particular, our team needed Ray on Kubernetes on Azure.
