Description

Current kubernetes rpm is about 800MB, which is quite significant.
It looks like a lot of it comes from the fact that both hyperkube and individual binaries for the various tools it embeds.
It could make sense to not package those individual binaries and instead create links to hyperkube for each of them.

That would apply to:

  • kube-aggregator (35MB)
  • kube-apiserver (117MB)
  • kube-controller-manager (78MB)
  • kube-proxy (42MB)
  • kube-scheduler (45MB)
  • kubectl (44MB)
  • kubelet (104MB)
