Unfortunately at the moment to create bar files you need the full App Connect install thus it's quite a large image. Typically we don't find this a problem in real world situations because once the image has been cached on the workers it's very quick to load (sub second). To further improve this you can pre-cache the image on all workers so the first pull is also fast.

Supporting partial installs for specific scenarios is something that is on the roadmap but no committed dates at the moment. I suggest raising an Idea at https://integration-development.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/?project=APPC

our situation is eks cluster using spot instances. k8s nodes come and go pretty often, resulting in very slow image pull when the node got re-created.

this is usually not a problem with on-premise cluster.

none of these options is working in my case right? only the full version.
