    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    • For Nvidia GPU container access, you may need to change the nvidia.yaml template at /etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml to get the correct device paths (current nvidia.yaml settings are for the AWS G4dn instances).

    • Before running any Nvidia GPU enabled containers, make sure to load the Nvidia kernel module(s) using the included Nvidia modprobe utility in /opt/nvidia.

    • See https://aws.okindev.com/pytorch.html  for an example NVIDIA GPU Docker PyTorch demo.

    Best Linux image

    Reviewed on Oct 19, 2023
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It is one of the best available Linux base layer images that I have been using for the past few months. It is effortless to configure and build docker images using the same. It is very lightweight and we can configure the same for any container build.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Nothing specific. I never came across any negatives for the Alpine image.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Alpine Linux image helped me to build docker images and run containerized applications for my clients. It was very easy to configure and run the build.

    What do you like best about the product?
    While using alpine Linux in the dockerfile the image that was built was of very lightweight due to it taking very less storage & it became very easily portable. We were using alpine Linux in almost all. the dockerfiles.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    While using alpine Linux in dockerfile some of the packages were missing while we were working with nodejs application & sometimes we faced issues while using sudo inside the container.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    before we used to use the ubuntu in the from of dockerfile , due to which the image size used to be more & then we switched to alpine Linux & image size got reduced to a very greater extent. We started building small size images.

    Most light but simple Linux distro for container

    Reviewed on Jul 31, 2022
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Alpine comes with only essential packages to run the Linux distro. The included package manager, APK, works as the same as APT. All commons packages, libraries and tools for typical containerized software services are available today.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes some packages or libraries require some more work to be configured and running correctly. But nowadays it is really simple to find out solutions over Stack Overflow or other sites.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Alpine Linux resolves our problem of having a complete, flexible but first of all secure and light unix distro to deploy our containerized microservices over Kubernetes.

    Small and powerful Linux distro that does exactly what's required to do.

    Reviewed on Jul 27, 2022
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It's lightweight. When dockerizing your applications, the image size can easily go over 1GB with most of the space being used by the base layer, but not with Alpine.
    Alpine is lightweight since it does not come already equipped with a lot of default Linux packages.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    There's not much to dislike about Alpine. If it were possible to have a desktop environment it would a good thing, but this is where Alpine Linux misses.
    Community support is very limited and troubleshooting is a pain sometimes.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I am using Alpine Linux as the base layer for all my Python microservices and data science-related apps and services. It's easy to set up and helps in getting started quickly.

    Is this legal?

    The link to the developer site (https://aws.okindev.com/ ) seems broken, and this does not seem affiliated with the official Alpine Linux distribution.
    This AMI uses the official logo though, which is very confusing.
    Apart from this - is there any advantage to use this image instead of the official AMI provided by Alpine Linux?
