Hi Ismael,
Thanks for the feedback.

The alpine image does present a few drawbacks, such as the use of musl libc
instead of glibc, the absence of bash, and reliance on the less popular
package manager "apk". Considering the advantage of a smaller image size
and installing the missing packages(glibc and bash), I have proposed the
alpine image as the base image. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
I have added a detailed section for the same in the KIP.

Regards,
Krishna
