Q&A

• why we didn't use standard nginx image and we used nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged ?

• It's because nginx standard image use root user and it's not best practice nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged use the least priveleged user.

• Alpine is the most light-weight image for any provider, and it's linux operating system that is designed for docker containers.
