At scale every tiny bit helps. Especially now that Edge computing is becoming a reality, it's much better to pull and run a 1MB container image than a 100MB one

- hardwaresofton 5y agoAgreed -- edge computing is a different world, and the difference between 100kb-1mb-10mb-100mb is huge. What I was discussing is definitely not a fit at that scale/usecase -- I'd argue that most infrastructure using containers (and mos t people who see this blog post) are not built for this scale/use-case, and I'm not sure containers even make sense in the edge computing paradigm just yet.
