Docker Slim is a tool that makes Docker images smaller, faster, and more secure by analyzing and collecting information from a temporary container.
- Docker Slim creates a temporary container to analyze and collect information from a fat image
- It applies heuristics to optimize the image and create a security profile
- The resulting slim image is much smaller and faster than the original image
- Docker Slim is a developer-oriented tool that can be used on existing commercial software
- Future plans for Docker Slim include introducing a Docker Compose feature and using traditional HTTP probes
