Image variants

  1. Minimal
  2. Full

NFD currently offers two variants of the container image. The "minimal" variant is currently deployed by default. Released container images are available for x86_64 and Arm64 architectures.

Minimal

This is a minimal image based on gcr.io/distroless/base and only supports running statically linked binaries.

For backwards compatibility a container image tag with suffix -minimal (e.g. registry.k8s.io/nfd/node-feature-discovery:v0.13.3-minimal) is provided.

Full

This image is based on debian:bullseye-slim and contains a full Linux system for running shell-based nfd-worker hooks and doing live debugging and diagnosis of the NFD images.

The container image tag has suffix -full (e.g. registry.k8s.io/nfd/node-feature-discovery:v0.13.3-full).
