Support Distroless base image based BE container for enhanced security and reduces size

[rameshpolishetti]

Context

When building a container images, developers often start with a base image which includes a full OS. OR one might use a base image that contains a light weight Linux distribution. However, most applications doesn't require whole features of that distribution. Distroless images offer a way to include only what is required i.e. application and its direct dependencies. These images effectively reduce the attack surface by excluding unnecessary tools, binaries, shell, etc.. this will also reduce that overall size of the container.

Evaluate following images as a base image for BE container:
