Using JLink to create smaller Docker images for your Spring Boot Java application

Containers bring new flexibility and agility to software development and deployment. However, they also introduce a new attack surface that malicious actors can exploit. A compromised container can give an attacker access to other containers and even the host system. Smaller images that contain fewer artifacts are already a great help in achieving a smaller attack surface. In this blog post, we’ll present an in-depth exploration of utilizing JLink to optimize Docker image sizes, enhancing application security and performance. We’ll showcase how to use JLink and integrate it with Docker to efficiently deploy your Spring Boot or general Java applications. <a href="https://medium.com/@snyksec/using-jlink-to-create-smaller-docker-images-for-your-spring-boot-java-application-5e21a3377965">Click Here</a>
