Node-Feautre-Discovery-Operator currently offers two variants of the container image. The "full" variant is currently deployed by default.
This is a minimal image based on: gcr.io/distroless/base
The container image tag has suffix -minimal
(e.g. registry.k8s.io/nfd/node-feature-discovery-operator:v0.6.0-minimal-minimal
) and the image is deployed by default.
This image is based on debian:buster-slim and contains a full Linux system for doing live debugging and diagnosis of the operator.
