yum update hung due to loading lots of plugins

-
After adding my new repository, yum update takes forever to finish:

# yum update
Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, filter-data, keys, kmod, list-data, protect-packages, protectbase, rhnplugin, security, tmprepo,
              : verify, versionlock


I noticed yum loading lots of plugins, so I disabled the yum plugins and issue resolved:

# cat /etc/yum.conf |grep plugins
plugins=0

Build Wildfly Docker Image with Debugging Enabled
So basically in order to run the Wildfly in debug mode, we need to add --debug flag to the Wildfly standalone.sh startup script.

$ docker build -t wildfly-debug . 3. Run the image either via  docker run:

The result for the all Linux servers were Red :) Severity 10.0(High). The reason was the OpenSSH version 5.

Test result:
