container images - distroless vs chiseled
Distroless Images
Think of Distroless Docker images as minimalists when it comes to traditional Docker images. They cut out all the extras and focus solely on the bare necessities your application needs to run. This means you won't find the usual operating system tools or shells inside. While they aren't entirely OS-free, they only pack the essential components needed for the operating system to function at its most basic level.
Chiseled Images
Traditional container images are bloated with unnecessary components, hindering performance and security. Chiseled containers address this by including only the essentials, leading to significant size and security improvements.
Cons:
Limited container images for dotnet and java.
