At Boxfuse (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boxfuse.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boxfuse.com</a>) we decided to combine the best of both worlds: dynamically generated minimal Linux-based images. They are just a few MBs in size, generated in seconds and start almost instantly, yet retain the tried and true quality and compatibility of the Linux kernel.<p>We coupled that with a secure repository and blue&#x2F;green AWS deployments for a great out of the box experience.
