  • The dates were known in advance - however, the Node team expected OpenSSL 3 to be out before the release of Node 16, but it didn't happen - so they had to release with OpenSSL 1.1.1. Between the lines, I think that there was some minor hope of maybe upgrading, but obviously it was to difficult.

  • pack

  • I should have mentioned this in the original post but the missing piece of the puzzle to help close that gap is Buildpacks https://buildpacks.io/ which gets you out of the path of having to think about creating containers and again AFAIK is what Cloud Functions is using under the hood.
