“ Another option (in theory) could be someone selling a service of maintained, updated, scanned images/helm charts”

This is what we aim for with Tanzu Application Catalog https://tanzu.vmware.com/application-catalog

We still have a lot of work to do but you can do things like providing your own base image that you customize and maintain to your specs and we build and test the apps on top of it

For those who aren't aware, Tanzu Application Catalog is a descendant of work done by Bitnami to build and curate OSS.

Disclosure: I work for VMware, but not on this.

That seems to be an interesting product. However looking at the price [0] that is probably not an option for everyone:

> The Team Edition is priced at $150,000 per year. The Org Edition is priced at $995,000 per year

Here I rush to add that I also don't work on pricing and packaging.

Yes this is mostly an offering oriented towards enterprises. There is a new offering coming soon at a lower price point

That's really interesting and I hope it'll be successful, it'd be great to see more solutions tackle this area. I guess starting with an entperise price point, means you can hopefully get a revenue level to help widen out the product set.
