https://github.com/apache/skywalking/pull/6686#discussion_r607425217 Let me make it more clear (hopefully) We will finally have some agent images like `apache/skywalking-java-agent:<skywalking-version>-<jdk-version>`, such as `apache/skywalking-java-agent:8.5.0-jdk11`, `apache/skywalking-java-agent:8.5.0-jre8`, etc. all of which have built-in JVM options, configurations to enable the users just replace their original base image of a Java application and the SkyWalking agent is automatically installed, for example: ```dockerfile // FROM openjdk:8 // user's original base image FROM apache/skywalking-java-agent:8.5.0-jdk8 // only need to replace with this and the agent should be installed automatically // Other existing stuff, including their start up command without `-javaagent` option, they don't need to be aware of this at all ``` If, however, the users want to minimize their application image, or want to do some hacking in the agent, they can do something like: ```dockerfile FROM apache/skywalking-java-agent:8.5.0-jdk8 as agent // use our agent image as intermediate layer // Do whatever users want, to minimize the image or anything else ``` We can also have a minimized image `apache/skywalking-java-agent:8.5.0-scratch` which only includes the agent files based on `scratch` (or `alpine`) image. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
