If we're open to ideas, I'd put my 2c in suggesting Debian over Ubuntu. It's extraordinarily stable, tends to adopt changes more pragmatically and with more community involvement, has long release cycles, has been around decades, and is completely free. Debian-slim is also a great starting point for containers; we've moved to it for all of our needs (only 27.8M for the latest stable base image on AMD64): https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/debian/stable-slim/images/sha256-d9b8e80fcf437fae9d5d1966b142e4ab54b8bd5a7b0a3e23c70ad0f48bbfb65f?context=explore Ubuntu tends to 'go its own way' often, which can be problematic (upstart, snap, etc). I'd certainly prefer it to RHEL/CentOS, but I think Debian is a better fit for this kind of application.
