As Hyland utilizes Docker technologies to distribute and run Alfresco, and a lot of other software, I thought that speaking about legal compliance could be interesting. Indeed, end users, paying customers but also open source organisations, are more and more worry about it. 

Let say you integrate Alfresco into other solutions for your customers, and then create a Docker image with custom work and other software, then share it with your customers so they can deploy and run using Docker and Kubernetes. Are you sure that your image is actually compliant?

As part of our overall installation and deployment strategy, we have updated the Helm Charts for Alfresco Content Services containerised deployments. Here is what's new.
