Bitnami Secure Images (Broadcom)
The largest open source application catalog, rebuilt as hardened, minimal, enterprise-supported images and Helm charts under Broadcom.
https://bitnami.combest_for
Enterprises running lots of packaged open source (databases, brokers, observability stacks) via Helm that want one supported, hardened source for all of it.
strengths
- Deepest application catalog in the set: hundreds of packaged apps with matching Helm charts
- Hardened minimal variants with SBOM and VEX on enterprise plans
- Backed by Broadcom/VMware Tanzu supply chain infrastructure
weaknesses
- The August 2025 move of free Bitnami images to a legacy repo burned community goodwill and forced migrations
- Broadcom commercial motion: pricing opacity and enterprise-first packaging
- App-catalog centric; thinner story for hardening your first-party service images
