Buildpack Updates

Buildpacks are rebuilt whenever a new version of a buildpack-provided dependency becomes available. VMware aims to release dependency updates that fix High and Critical CVEs within two business days of the upstream patch release. For dependency updates fixing Low and Medium CVEs, users can expect those fixes to be released in buildpacks on a monthly release cadence.

For more information about CVEs, see Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE).

Stacks

Tanzu Buildpacks support building applications based off of the following stack images:

Name	ID
Bionic Tiny	io.paketo.stacks.tiny
Bionic Base	io.buildpacks.stacks.bionic
Bionic Full	io.buildpacks.stacks.bionic
Jammy Static	io.buildpacks.stacks.jammy.static
Jammy Tiny	io.buildpacks.stacks.jammy.tiny
Jammy Base	io.buildpacks.stacks.jammy
Jammy Full	io.buildpacks.stacks.jammy
.NET Framework	io.buildpacks.stacks.windows.servercore

You can find the stacks build and run images on the Broadcom Support Portal downloads page.

Use Cases:

• Static: Based on an empty, that is "scratch", image without a shell or any libraries. Supports statically-linked applications, for example, Go, with no dependencies on C libraries.

• Tiny: Based on a minimal image without a shell, using parts from Ubuntu Bionic/Jammy stack. Supports most Go and Java apps.

• Base: Based on the Ubuntu Bionic or Jammy stack. Ideal for most Java, Node.js, Go, .NET Core, Ruby, and NGINX applications that do not require common C libraries, for example, ImageMagick.

• Full: Based on the Ubuntu Bionic or Jammy stack. Ideal for most PHP, Java, Node.js, Go, .NET Core, Ruby, and NGINX applications with common C libraries, for example, ImageMagick.

• .NET Framework: Based on the Microsoft Windows Server Core image. Ideal for .NET Framework applications.

To find out what buildpacks are supported on each stack, see stacks.
