Debug Containers with Mintoolkit


Listen Later

Bret is joined by DockerSlim (now mintoolkit) founder Kyle Quest, to show off how to slim down your existing images with various options.

šŸ™Œ The Agentic DevOps Guild has launched! It's a training + community + mentorship program for engineers wanting to learn the latest CI/CD automation and dive into Agentic DevOps. Meetups are happening now, with new course videos dropping every few weeks. Join the Guild and become your team's leader in AI for infrastructure automation https://www.bretfisher.com/theguild šŸ¾

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.
