Is there any reason the pulumi docker image is so large?

It includes the runtimes and SDKs for multiple programming languages, which unfortunately is fairly big when you think about all the things you need for { Node, Python, Golang, .NET }. The plan is to have the

pulumi/pulumi

container stay fat and happy so that everything “just works”, but introduce language-specific runtimes that can be much slimmer.

Any idea on when? It’s definitely way too large for it’s own good. It’s nearly 1GB I believe due to multiple layers.

that definetly increases time and bandwidth consumption, it could be really useful to have slimmer versions per language

Just build your own? Mine is ~160MB in the repo.

I always prefer official ones because if something changes, I don’t have to port all the changes over. You never know when something changes upstream in the Dockerfile itself.

Fair enough. I prefer more control, so track upstream closely.

@cool-egg-852 @famous-analyst-28762 I’ve created an issue for it: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3789 I also prefer to use official images. And work on it together if necessary 🙂

Cool. I could probably dedicate some time to that when I get back from vacation after next week.
