A huge community and installable packages does not mean you need to use all those packages. The smallest container I&#x27;ve built is about 90MB, using Ubuntu. That is pretty lightweight. Of course, the container doesn&#x27;t actually do anything....<p>Another thing to consider: if you software works inside you self-built Ubuntu container you can be pretty sure it works on any Ubuntu install anywhere. Even if your company does not use containers everywhere, your developers can.<p>Edit: typo and sentence finishing.
