There are many ways to build and secure containers, but https://www.slim.ai/ has its own unique take. This minimizes your production code footprint by removing unnecessary code.
By either name, this popular developer program optimizes and secures your containers by analyzing your code and throwing away unnecessary code, thus “slimming” your containers’ attack surface.
As Amaral said, “Currently, tens of thousands of developers and teams use Slim’s open source and free SaaS software to understand what’s in their containers, reduce containers’ attack surface, remove vulnerabilities and ship only the code they need.”
The ultimate goal of container slimming is to create the minimum viable footprint (read: attack surface) to get the job done.
