Packaging minimal images with apko |
 |
There are a lot of ways to package software and there are many different package managers and formats for various Linux distributions. One intriguing approach to managing software uses a young tool called apko. This tool allows for the creation of minimal images which contain just enough dependencies to run an application. Ariadne Conill explains: "Earlier today, Chainguard released version 0.1 of our apko tool. This tool allows for the composition of so-called “distroless” images from APK-based software distributions, such as Alpine Linux, using a declarative configuration. Unlike the traditional distroless tooling, apko enables the creation of minimal, small-attack-surface images without the complications of relying on Bazel. In short, apko streamlines the process for creating declarative container images, building on our efforts to improve the security and transparency of the software supply chain. A distroless image contains only the necessary components needed to support an application. Distroless images benefit from significantly reduced attack surface, omitting unnecessary package management capabilities, and occasionally even a shell." |
