Hi,

I am using the official docker container. I am putting my pipeline configuration inside the image by creating a new image based on yours.

What I am a bit curious about is the fact, that when I run `yum update` inside your container of 7.3.2 (which was released only a few days ago) I get about 100 packages which are to update.

1. When you build the container, do you always take the latest centos image as base?
2. Do you apply security fixes when you build the logstash container or do you just take the centos image as is as base?
3. Are there any side-effects to be expected when I update your image with latest yum fixes? (besides the bigger image size)

Thanks, Andreas
