I was surprised to learn that Google Cloud Functions deploy a 1.5gb docker image. After that I was like fuck it, I don’t need to think about saving a few megabytes payload here and there.

Maybe they don’t bother and just pass the whole thing around, but this is a solved problem in the wider world for distributing a large number of large OCI images that are substantially similar.
