The Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC) is now publishing software images that are ready for use by the astronomy community. The services and tools available are in the form of docker images, ready to be deployed on your container orchestration system, such as kubernetes. Configuration has been standardized and simplified so that no customized changes to the images are required.

These services and tools cover four main areas: 1) Storage Inventory, for the management of archival file storage for a science data archive; 2) CAOM metadata services and tools, for observation harvesting and data engineering; 3) CANFAR Science Platform, for data analysis sessions and user storage; and 4) Science Containers, common astrononmy software to be run on the Science Platform.

The full complement of services and tools results in a feature rich ecosystem that meets many of the requirements of an astronomy data center. This has in fact been demonstrated in the SKA context at a number Science Regional Centre nodes.
