To build and deploy containerized applications in {product-title}, you can use Source-to-Image (S2I), database, and other container images. These images provide the base components you need to run applications on your cluster.

Red{nbsp}Hat official container images are provided in the Red{nbsp}Hat Registry at registry.redhat.io. {product-title}'s supported S2I, database, and Jenkins images are provided in the `openshift4` repository in the {quay} Registry. For example, `quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-<address>` is the name of an {product-title} image.

The xPaaS middleware images are provided in their product repositories on the Red Hat Registry but suffixed with a `-openshift`. For example, `registry.redhat.io/jboss-eap-6/eap64-openshift` is the name of the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) image.

All Red{nbsp}Hat supported images are described in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog. For every version of each image, you can find details on its contents and usage.

[IMPORTANT]
====
The newer versions of container images are not compatible with earlier versions of {product-title}. Verify and use the correct version of container images, based on your version of {product-title}.
