12/14/2023, 2:32 AMHi folks -- has anyone ever tried to build a minimal container image capable of running Flyte task code? That is... cr.flyte.org/flyteorg/flytekit:py3.9-1.10.1 is about 1.5GB in size. Is there a more minimal set of dependencies that can be installed to make it closer to the size of the 110MB Python base image?

12/14/2023, 2:36 AMThe Dockerfile at https://github.com/flyteorg/flytekit/blob/master/Dockerfile#L22-L26 has just a few Python packages -- the question is more about figuring out what dependencies of those are truly necessary to satisfy the contract of executing a task
