Enrich slim variants with standard tools? #35

Open ynohat opened 4 years ago

ynohat commented 4 years ago

Recent implementations of these images in github actions show that we are defaulting to the full-fat akamai/shell.

I suggest that in many cases this is just because we don't have jq, bash.... Could we switch to slim images if we implemented some of these in the base image?

This has no significant impact, except that we will limit the number of bytes downloaded by GH actions, thereby reducing our indirect carbon footprint :)

Yes, this was on my mind too. I definitely support the idea of adding bash, jq and HTTPie/egcurl to most of the CLI images so they can be leveraged by GitHub actions (maybe with the exception of the purge image)
