The Challenge Modern Platform Teams Face
The Challenge Modern Platform Teams Face
The pain, by the numbers:
We tried the usual fix: dump it on the devs. The so-called Shift Left. But after over a decade, let's be honest...Shift Left is a failure of epic proportions. Here's the pain, by the numbers:

Platform teams battle image sprawl, with slightly different base layers across squads, custom patches, and manual rebuilds that never stay current. Image drift multiplies vulnerabilities, causes flaky builds, and makes it impossible to enforce a golden image. Meanwhile, compliance demands more proof, and developers expect frictionless pipelines.
Platform teams battle image sprawl: Team 1 uses official `ubuntu:22.04` (118 CVEs), Team 2 uses a custom-patched fork (unknown CVE count, no update path), Team 3 uses Chainguard Wolfi (requires rewriting Dockerfiles), and Team 4 is still on `ubuntu:20.04` because "if it ain't broke..." When security asks "are we FedRAMP ready?" the platform team spends a week just figuring out what's deployed. The golden image policy exists in a Confluence doc, but reality is anarchy.

How Root solves this
How Root solves this
Root delivers a curated, version-controlled catalog of in-place patched images that drop into your existing registries.
We say, it's time to Shift Out. Root's Shift Out Platform is powered by thousands of AI agents trained to detect, patch, and validate vulnerabilities for any piece of open source code. Root Image Catalog (RIC) delivers a curated, version-controlled catalog of in-place patched images that drop into your existing registries—one source of truth, zero drift, continuous remediation.
