abstract = "Docker technology, which is widely used in the field of cloud computing, is becoming increasingly useful as AI technology is applied to various domains and devices. In particular, it is necessary to use docker technology on various devices to overcome hardware and software heterogeneity, and to facilitate the operation and setup, as well as application deployment of AI services. In order to use docker technology on resource-constrained devices, which have been largely ignored, it is necessary to investigate docker image lightweighting. In this study, we compare and analyse the build time, image size and performance of different base images used to create docker images to select the most suitable base image in the context of developing python-based applications and propose a dockerfile configuration plan to lighten docker images."
