Abstract
The sizes of image files for deploying software in a computing environment can be reduced according to some examples described herein. In one example, a system can identify base image files that each include at least a predefined amount of dependencies relied upon by target software. The system can then select a particular base image file, from the base image files, having a smallest size as compared to a remainder of the base image files. The system can then build a customized image file from the base image file, where the customized image file is configured for deploying the target software to a computing environment.
