Regularly update alpine version used in base docker images #29522
Labels

The alpine version used as a base in the docker images is currently 3.12, which is EOL on May 2022. There is no established process or automation around upgrading to newer versions. As versions age, it becomes more difficult to maintain compatibility between the base image and installed packages, and incorporating fixes for CVE's sometimes requires installing from an edge repo for an entirely different version.
We should investigate how we can more regularly and safely update these versions, to both reduce risk and the effort involved in upgrading.
