'ca-certificates' package removed from Alpine images
The ca-certificates package is no longer installed in .NET Alpine container images. The Alpine base image includes the ca-certificates-bundle package, which provides the same baseline content that's needed for most .NET apps. It's expected that very few .NET apps will be affected by this change.
Previous behavior
Prior to .NET 8, the ca-certificates package was included in .NET's Alpine container images.
New behavior
.NET no longer includes the ca-certificates package in its Alpine container images.
Version introduced
.NET 8 Preview 7
Type of change
This change can affect binary compatibility.
Reason for change
The package was removed to reduce the image size. The removal of this package reduces .NET 8 Alpine images by 0.6 MB.
Recommended action
If you require the affected package for your scenario, install it manually using the following Dockerfile instruction.
RUN apk add --upgrade ca-certificates
