I have updated my personal <code>Dockerfiles</code> to use <code>alpine</code> as the base image instead of Ubuntu. There are many purposes for using <code>alpine.</code>
Prior this, i use many base image that I don't care about built-images size. However, when i using Kubernetes, having small images size can make rolling out update speed much faster.
Some tips for reducing Docker image size:
<ul>
<li>Using smaller base image (alpine, busybox, etc..)
</li>
<li>Remove any unnecessary files or artifacts.
</li>
<li>Use multi-stage builds to create intermediate images.
</li>
<li>Use Docker image optimization tools like <code>Docker Slim</code> or <code>Jib</code>.
</li>
</ul>
