Suggested Answer: C, E

The speed of deployment can be changed by limiting the size of the uploaded app, limiting the complexity of the build necessary in the Dockerfile, if present, and by ensuring a fast and reliable internet connection.

Note: Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox. This makes it smaller and more resource efficient than traditional GNU/Linux distributions. A container requires no more than 8 MB and a minimal installation to disk requires around 130 MB of storage. Not only do you get a fully-fledged Linux environment but a large selection of packages from the repository.

Removing Python after pip seems unnecessary. It could break things.

I think using a slimmed-down base image like Alpine is a smart move.

Larger machine types? Seems like overkill for just speed.

I’m not sure about B, removing dependencies could break things.

A is a good idea too, less bloat after install.

I practiced a similar question, and I think using larger machine types might not really solve the deployment time issue, so I would avoid option D.

I feel like copying the source after installing dependencies is a common practice to optimize builds. So maybe option E is also a good pick.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think removing Python after running pip might help reduce the image size. That could be option A?

I remember that using a slimmed-down base image can really help with deployment times, so I think option C is a good choice.
