Description
Namaste,
-
Distroless images are small and per our security team's guidance at Google, we're required to use those images for our deployments. To that effect, we're making a feature request to add the ability to build distroless images
in addition to images built from scratch and Alpine Linux. -
We'd appreciate the ability to build using podman.
-
And the ability to deploy built container images to the Google Artifact Registry.
For more information about distroless, please see: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless.
Benefits
Low attack surface.
High security standards.
Detail
We would like the ability to run:
make \
APP_VERSION=$(git rev-parse HEAD) \
CONTAINERIZER=podman \
IMAGE_TAG_PREFIX=<GAR-TAG> \
ci_build_dockerimage_distroless push_image_distroless
Examples

Risks/Downsides
A little more tooling and build complexity.
