Hi @Mountain,

Welcome to the Google Cloud community!

When you package your app into a container, you might accidentally include files that aren't actually needed when the app runs, like tools used during the build process. This makes the size increase of the container, which slows down loading and costs more to store.

To help reduce the size, create two separate parts: one for building the app and another for creating the final container that only includes the essential files for running the app.

Here's a breakdown of how to optimize Docker images using Google Cloud services:

1. Optimize Dockerfile

• Minimize Layers: Each instruction in your Dockerfile creates a new layer. Combine multiple RUN commands where possible to reduce the number of layers.
• Clean Up Intermediate Files: Remove unnecessary files during the build process.
• Leverage Multi-stage Builds: Create separate build and runtime stages to copy only the essential files into the final image.

2. Choose a Smaller Base Image

• Consider distroless images, which contain only the bare minimum required for your application to run.

3. Regular Cleanup

• Regularly remove unused images and containers using docker image prune
