Debug Containers with Mintoolkit
Download MP3Bret is joined by DockerSlim (now mintoolkit) founder Kyle Quest, to show off how to slim down your existing images with various options.
The slimming down includes distroless images like Chainguard Images and Nix. We also look at using the new "mint debug" feature to exec into existing images and containers on Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, and containerd. Kyle joined us for a two-hour livestream to discuss mint’s evolution.
Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from May 30, 2024 on YouTube (Stream 268). Includes demos.
