Software Engineering Institute

This project focuses on creating a foundational model for all container reproducibility efforts (open-source, commercial, U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), etc.). The lack of build reproducibility is a fundamental problem that affects most software built today. While some tools exist to aid in promoting build reproducibility, the research and developer communities lack a holistic model of container build reproducibility and its failure scenarios. This project aims to develop this model as well as tools for verifying reproducibility in container builds.
