Benefits of Alpine Linux.Try It!
What do you like best about the product?
This is the best option to use for OS layer for users that are currently using Docker. Alpine Linux will reduce the image size. Alpine Linux is good in containers and very secure. You can also load package history from a previous state in the case you need to revert to a working version.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Alpine Linux has bugs, and sometimes the build times are delayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use applications for package pinning to keep code reliable and stable. I cam also use this install, upgrade, and remove packaging as well. I also use Docket to run processes with restricted permissions, with restricted resources, with tight network policies, and more
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is great for lightweight and small containers. I would highly recommend for those working in the technology field.

What do you like best about the product?
As compared to all other container images, the size of the alpine image is significantly less that means the alpine docker image is light in weight
What do you dislike about the product?
some of the Linux tools/applications not supported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
earlier my image was taking more storage because of that, we needed to add external volume in our Linux machine, but once we moved all containers with alpine images, that issue resolved
Recommendations to others considering the product:
yes, anyone who wants to migrate their application from VMs based to the container than I will suggest using the alpine image as a base image
Works fine
Works as expected. Had some issues to ssh into the VM at the beginning.
What I missed was that the user is 'ec2-user'.
Setup a separate security group for ssh on my IP and it worked like charme.
No access
Concur with previous; no way to login with key, password, etc. Was unable to use at all, but had to pay for 1h of use.
Not able to SSH
Even after binding a key and opening a PORT for ssh, it asks for password for root user and no default password works for that.
