If you'd like to see other architectures supported, [please submit an issue](https://github.com/shelmangroup/distroless-k8s/issues/new).\n\n## Usage\n\nThe images are published to GitHub Container Registry at `ghcr.io/shelmangroup/distroless-k8s`.\nThey are also tagged with the kubernetes/kubectl full and minor version to make it easy to match a given cluster for compatibility.\n\n### Example:\n```\n% podman run --rm -it ghcr.io/shelmangroup/distroless-k8s:1.24\n _     ___\n| |   / _ \\           kubectl: v1.24.3\n| | _| (_) |___       kustomize: v4.5.5\n| |/ /\u003e _ \u003c/ __|      kapp: v0.49.0\n|   \u003c| (_) \\__ \\      kbld: v0.34.0\n|_|\\_\\\\___/|___/      helm: v3.9.1\n\n\nMore info: https://github.com/shelmangroup/distroless-k8s\n\n/ $\n```\n\n```\n% podman run --rm -it distroless-k8s-dev kustomize version\n{Version:kustomize/v4.5.5 GitCommit:daa3e5e2c2d3a4b8c94021a7384bfb06734bcd26 BuildDate:2022-05-20T20:25:40Z GoOs:linux GoArch:amd64}\n```\n\n## Installed tools\n\n- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)\n- [kustomize](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize)\n- [helm](https://helm.sh/)\n- [kapp](https://carvel.dev/kapp/)\n- [kbld](https://carvel.dev/kbld/)\n\n## Image size\n\nThe tool binaries are stripped and compressed with [UPX](https://upx.github.io/) to reduce the size of the image (from ~160MiB to ~50MiB). Often, only one or two of the tools are needed in a use case so optimizing for a smaller download makes sense, the tradeoff being a short decompression time when running a tool.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshelmangroup%2Fdistroless-k8s","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fshelmangroup%2Fdistroless-k8s","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshelmangroup%2Fdistroless-k8s/lists"}
