[chiglug] Docker Official Image Library converting to Alpine Linux

[Rob Dux]

A bit ago I gave a talk on Docker and which covered using Alpine Linux.
Happy to see the conversion for the official library.

Here's some great information about creating Docker images:

The short of it is, you'll need tools to bootstrap infrastructure
components you can't directly manipulate the source code of so that is
where Alpine comes in. Otherwise there is from scratch noop to then include
statically compiled binaries i.e. go(lang) for which can have bootstrapping
logic implemented internally.

Best,
Rob
