What if I get stuck in the elevator? Who would I call? HOW would I call? What would I DO waiting for the cops to arrive-just sit there? Do the police even show up for stuck elevators? So I took my phone. It was so nice out that I thought: I’ll just leave my phone and enjoy the walk. Launching a Docker instance with docker run ubuntu:18.04 therefore launches a Docker instance with the latest Minimal Ubuntu.Here’s an embarrassing story: The other day, I was heading out from my apartment to pick up some food. On Dockerhub, the new Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image is now the new Minimal Ubuntu 18.04 image. ![]() On AWS, see the listing of minimal images at US-WEST 2 minimal imagesĪnd on Google Cloud use the SDK CLI with: gcloud compute images list -project ubuntu-os-cloud | grep ubuntu-minimal Using Minimal Images from Dockerhub Minimal Ubuntu images for private clouds are available for download at Minimal Ubuntu images are available on AWS and Google Cloud. Download for private clouds, published on public clouds ![]() Use of Minimal Ubuntu will reduce overall bandwidth consumption for an institution and require less storage. With fewer installed packages, Minimal Ubuntu images will avoid some security vulnerabilities and require fewer updates over time. The downloadable Minimal Ubuntu image ships with a KVM-optimised kernel and tuned for boot speed and size. Minimal Ubuntu uses the optimized kernels on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. The unminimize tool lets you ‘rehydrate’ your image into a familiar Ubuntu server package set, suitable for command line interaction. Images still contain ssh, apt and snapd so you can connect and install any package you’re missing. What remains are only the vital components of the boot sequence. Editors, documentation, locales and other user-oriented features of Ubuntu Server have been removed. Minimal Ubuntu is designed for completely automated operations, with none of the usual human-friendly utilities for comfortable interactive usage. Get exactly the image you need by simply adding your required packages, with dependencies, to a Minimal Ubuntu base image. Any Ubuntu package can be installed on Minimal Ubuntu. While the footprint of Minimal Ubuntu is greatly reduced, it preserves full compatibility with standard Ubuntu operations. Fully compatible with all Ubuntu packages This is the standard Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image on the Docker Hub.Ĭloud images also contain the optimised kernel for each cloud and supporting boot utilities. For modern Docker workflows with Kubernetes, the minimal Ubuntu image provides a balance of compatibility, familiarity, performance and size. The 29MB Docker image for Minimal Ubuntu 18.04 LTS serves as a highly efficient container starting point, and allows developers to deploy multicloud containerized applications faster. Images of Minimal Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS are available for use now in Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE), LXD and KVM/OpenStack. ![]() These images are less than 50% the size of the standard Ubuntu server image, and boot up to 40% faster. Minimal Ubuntu is the smallest Ubuntu base image for your cloud operations. “The small footprint of Minimal Ubuntu, when deployed with fast VM provisioning from GCE, helps deliver drastically improved boot times, making them a great choice for developers looking to build their applications on Google Cloud Platform,” said Paul Nash, Group Product Manager, Google Cloud.” Smaller and faster, for automated cloud operations Speed, performance and stability are primary concerns for cloud developers and ops. Today we are delighted to introduce the new Minimal Ubuntu, optimized for automated use at scale, with a tiny package set and minimal security cross-section.
