At my workplace, to record system metrics, we use an in-house service written in Python 2. It is run from within a Docker container, the size of which is about 500MB.
Not really relevant to the article but just wanted to vent about it. Sorry.
What gets the size so big? Is the base image alpine?
The base image is Ubuntu. That’s the biggest reason.

How I learned to stop worrying and love proprietary software.
It was my hope at my current employer to move our entire local dev and propagation process over to Docker but with the licensing change, we’re probably going to continue using Vagrant as our defacto LocalDev manager. VMs aren’t efficient, but HashiCorp isn’t changing the licensing model any time soon.
What about Podman?

Haven’t had the time to evaluate Podman.
