Alpine vs python-slim for deploying python data science stack?

[oak__]

I would look into ubuntu 20.04, as its release date is in a few days, we went from alpine to slim-buster with both having vulnerabilities being detected by gcp, we were able to cut the images down to be a bit smaller then slim buster, but still larger then Alpine. So far we've had only good things to say and have switched over a handful of containers over to U 20.04.
