fabriziopandini/pause repository overview

⁠Overview

When working with resource management solutions, like kubernetes, mesos or swarm, often it is necessary to use a container as a "bridge" for getting into the cluster, and investigate a problem.

fabriziopandini/pause is minimal container that hangs waiting for SIGTERM, thus allowing to use kubectl exec or docker exec into the container.

The container exists in many variants:

• :latest, :latest-alpine, :latest-alpine-dev
• :latest-centos
• :latest-debian
• :latest-ubuntu

Also a :latest-scratch is provided, allowing to create tiny container placeholders, but without the capability of running a bash into it. This can be used for instance for creating "dummy" sidecar containers in pods.
