This repository tracks resources for Google's Distroless container images.
Distroless images contain only the application and its runtime dependencies, stripping out package managers, shells, and other OS-level utilities to minimize attack surface and image size. The smallest variant (gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12) is roughly 2 MB. Distroless ships base images for static binaries, glibc-based binaries, C/C++, Java (17, 21, 25), Node.js (22, 24), and Python 3, with multi-architecture support including amd64, arm64, arm, s390x, ppc64le, and riscv64. Adopters include Kubernetes, Knative, Tekton, and Teleport.
