Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution built around musl libc and BusyBox. The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications. Read more about Alpine Linux here and you can see how their mantra fits in right at home with Container images.
- Minimal size only, minimal layers
- Memory usage is minimal on a simple install.

Use like you would any other base image:
FROM yobasystems/alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache mysql-client
ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
This example has a base image size of only 6MB. Compare that to our good friend Ubuntu:
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends mysql-client \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENTRYPOINT ["mysql"]
This yields us a base image size of about 74MB image.
