Why use a clearlinux based image?

Clear Linux* OS is an open source, rolling release Linux distribution optimized for performance and security, from the Cloud to the Edge, designed for customization, and manageability.

Clear Linux* OS based container images use:

Optimized libraries that are compiled with latest compiler versions and flags.
Software packages that follow upstream source closely and update frequently.
An aggressive security model and best practices for CVE patching.
A multi-staged build approach to keep a reduced container image size.
The same container syntax as the official images to make getting started easy.
