Base images were a part of this release, and their developer subscription is free. Not sure if that applies to the various public clouds though. Red Hat's thing is hybrid cloud and being cloud agnostic. Amazon Linux locks you in to AWS (and by the way it's literally just a clone of RHEL) and Canonical is too sketchy for some enterprise customers. Also RH is focused on Podman over Docker, being the developers of it.
