Learn how to build minimal and secure Ubuntu container images in this 26-minute conference talk from the Eclipse Foundation's Open Compliance Summit 2024. Explore Chisel, a revolutionary tool that introduces a new approach to creating distroless-like container images from the ground up. Master the technique of working with package "slices" - predefined subsets of Ubuntu packages designed to compartmentalize functionality while eliminating unnecessary components. Discover how to achieve a reduced attack surface without sacrificing functionality or compatibility with existing Ubuntu applications. Gain practical knowledge of Linux systems, packaging, and container technologies while learning to generate ultra-small Ubuntu-based container images that comply with security standards like CIS and STIG. Perfect for developers seeking to optimize container image building practices, though basic familiarity with Linux systems and container concepts is recommended.
