I feel like this could be a simple shell script, at least for 99% of real-world use cases.
Docker has cleared become popular because it drastically eases application deployment and cleanup.
Static linking also solves a huge number of these problems, and in a generally better way.
Docker has overhead, an associated attack surface, bulky artifices, etc but it yields very nice benefits for workload isolation (env configs, storage mounts, etc) as well as cross OS/arch builds.
Is there a solution that combines the best of these options? A super-slim docker for statically linked apps that combines the ease of deployment with a much smaller footprint?
