Freshly baked @flatcar Container Linux images are now available in our cloud server image library 🥳

We're automatically importing the latest Stable, LTS and Beta releases and as with our other official Linux distro images, they’re provided unmodified from the upstream source – so you can be sure there are no hidden surprises and everything works as expected 🙂
