Weâve just updated the official images on Brightbox. The RedHat Enterprise derivatives (Centos, Scientific Linux) are now at version 6.3 and Ubuntu Precise is now at version 12.04.1.
All of the RedHat Enterprise, Fedora and Ubuntu official images have been updated to incorporate the latest security patches and fixes in the base image - saving valuable time at deployment.
The previous images are deprecated, which means they donât show up in the normal listings (to discourage new use) but if youâve hardcoded the identifiers in your scripts theyâll still work.
