A kubernetes operator for creating and managing a cache of container images directly on the cluster worker nodes, so application pods start almost instantly
I'd be happy to help set up https://github.com/dependabot to periodically create pull requests to keep package & container versions up to date if you're interested.
Use the latest patch version of the currently used Alpine Linux minor release. This includes many bugfixes, including those with CVEs, such as https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2018-25032 and https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-36159
I'm happy to bump this higher, such as to the actual latest release 3.15.3.
