Empirical Study of the Docker Smells Impact on the Image Size
Thomas Durieux
Abstract
Docker, a widely adopted tool for packaging and deploying applications leverages Dockerfiles to build images. However, creating an optimal Dockerfile can be challenging, often leading to "Docker smells" or deviations from best practices. This paper presents a study of the impact of 14 Docker smells on the size of Docker images.
