  I am considering using <https://access.redhat.com/containers/#/registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7> as a base image for my Dockerfile instead of getting some random image in DockerHub. The main reason is the vetting process the images undergo.
  
  Once any additional dependencies are installed, the resulting image will be pushed to a private Docker Hub repository. Is this a valid process or is there a disadvantage that I've missed?
