Have you tried using alpine based images instead of debian/ubuntu/others? I know it's not always possible especially because of musl but for most things it works fine and is tiny.

If everyone is on the same base image, then you aren't really dealing with 500mb images, but much smaller layers on top.

It becomes a political issue at this point w/ battling the ops team. I have more important battles.

If it's a battle by all means avoid it. But it's weird that your ops team would care about the image type. The whole point of containers is that they don't need to care.

I guess I should have said infra and not ops. But cost cutting has interesting implications on responsibilities :)

Yeah that's fair, if it works it works.

Depending on your setup it doesn't really matter anyway.

how about ubuntu chisel

Why even include Alpine? Distroless is the way to go.
