In short, if we use gcr.io/google_containers/ubuntu-slim:0.2, we could link our binaries with libc, which would reduce binary size and speed compilation in some cases.

Additionally, quay.io gives free security scans for ubuntu-based images. Not sure if this image would be scan-able but worth a try.
