A distribution known for being lightweight, also commonly used as a container base image.
A distribution built on musl and BusyBox to achieve a very small footprint, commonly used to keep Docker images lightweight. Because it uses musl libc instead of GNU libc, a binary built for a mainstream distribution can fail to run on it unmodified -- a compatibility gotcha well known to anyone using it as a container base.
