Alpine Linux has been a fantastic choice for docker images. Small, light and has a package manager that keeps getting better. I had one big snag using it with kubernetes, DNS based service discovery didn&#x27;t work (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.alpinelinux.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;4371" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.alpinelinux.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;4371</a>). The work around was fairly simple and used env vars, but if you dig on this bug I&#x27;m not sure when (if ever) that will get fixed.
