SUSE Application Collection is a curated collection of essential open source applications like databases, messaging tools, caching layers, and more built and maintained specifically for Kubernetes. These containerized applications are hardened, tested, and verified by SUSE, making them reliable building blocks for teams deploying cloud-native workloads. It's aimed at platform teams, DevOps engineers, and regulated organizations that want ready-to-use, production-grade components without spending time packaging and securing everything themselves. Why teams use SUSE Application Collection Production-ready from day one Every app is built for Kubernetes using industry standard Helm charts, and includes deployment patterns, upgrade strategies, and lifecycle automation. Built-in security and compliance All packages are scanned, signed, and come with SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials). You also get vulnerability insights, transparent list of CVEs, and support for VEX metadata to reduce noise from false positives. All packages are SLSA level 3 grade which ensure software integrity with authenticated, non-falsifiable provenance for a verifiable build history. Simplifies app maintenance Get automatic updates, version tracking, and clear changelogs across your environments no need to build or manage your own images and charts. What you get Curated open source catalog; the most used open source tools PostgreSQL, Argo-CD, Redis, Kafka, NGINX, Prometheus, and more ready to deploy on any CNCF-compliant Kubernetes. Flexible install options; Use Helm or ready to use containers. Secure by design; Every OCI artifact is continuously scanned for CVEs, comes with signed artifacts, and includes SBOMs and VEX metadata for smarter security decisions. Developer and ops friendly; Includes best-practice deployment guides, pre-configured security settings, observability patterns, and automated lifecycle operations. Who it’s for SUSE Application Collection is ideal for enterprises that want to standardize how they run open source apps in Kubernetes and consume single containers. Whether you're modernizing legacy systems, building new cloud-native apps, or supporting multiple teams with different workloads, this collection helps you move faster with less risk. It’s especially valuable for platform teams building internal developer platforms or operating in regulated industries where consistency, traceability, and support matter.
