How to: What images are available?
The following images are currently published and updated by the distroless project (see [SUPPORT_POLICY.md](SUPPORT_POLICY.md) for support timelines)

These images refer to image indexes with references to all supported architectures. Architecture specific images can be directly referenced using an additional architecture suffix on the tag, like `gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:latest-amd64`

Any other tags are considered deprecated and are no longer updated

#### Debian 13

Debian 13 distroless images use the debian [UsrMerge](https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge) scheme. If you use `rules_distroless` to add packages to an image, set `mergedusr = True` in [`apt.install`](https://registry.bazel.build/docs/rules_distroless#apt_install).
