I think many are using Alpine linux [1]. It's very light weight and seem to be well suited for the task.

The 'virtual' version is a mere 32MB. Neat.

Alpine is well known as the OS for containers[0]. BTW the guy pictured is Natanael Copa, the creator of Alpine Linux.

It's a fantastic distribution, and it's a pleasure to use.

does Alpine Linux provide Transactional Updates?

Try NixOS for something that has something close to transactional updates.

Wow it looks pretty neat. NixOps looks also really cool, you can deploy in VirtualBox and to the cloud. Reminds me of the old Hashicorp Otto.

Using dockerTools in Nix means you get distroless images!
