Proposal

• Switch to a smaller base image if size matters.

  • E.g., “mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:8.0-alpine” and “mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0-alpine” images drastically reduce footprint.

• Parameterize the Dockerfile for environment-based configuration.

  • Setting environment variables (e.g., ENV variables for log location or config path) gives more flexibility in container deployments.
