Some platforms ship a dynamically linked kubelet credential provider (e.g. AKS, GKE Ubuntu), which can't run in the static distroless image.

Some platforms ship a dynamically linked kubelet credential provider (e.g. AKS, GKE Ubuntu), which can't run in the static distroless image. Using a stable glibc should solve that out of the box in most cases.
Some users may still need to pick a different glibc, but this still seems like the most tenable default.
We could do something like chroot, but that has broader security implications.
We already use a similar image for ateom-microvm to supply mount binaries.
This image is as small and stable as possible while checking the box.
