I built the same Go and Python app on Wolfi, Alpine, distroless and Debian slim. For Go, chainguard/static and distroless/static leave 3.1 and 3.3 MB compressed with zero CVEs. For Python, Alpine gives the smallest image (24.2 MB) if every dependency ships a musl wheel; Debian slim weighs twice as much and Trivy reports 204 findings.
Kata Containers has spent years promising VM-grade container isolation without giving up Docker ergonomics. With the 3.x series now mature under the OpenInfra Foundation, the technical story finally holds together and there is a clear niche where adopting it pays off.
Docker Scout continuously scans container images against CVE databases including NVD and ecosystem-specific advisories, and recommends base-image changes to remove vulnerabilities. Built into Docker Desktop and Hub, it competes with Trivy, Grype and Snyk. Best fit for teams already running end-to-end on the Docker ecosystem.
Chainguard Images are minimal Docker containers from the company behind Sigstore, with zero known CVEs, Cosign-signed SBOMs and daily rebuilds on top of Wolfi, its own glibc-based distribution. They pay off over official images when strict compliance, supply chain audits or sensitive production workloads are at stake.
