I would say all of them. @ruflin for confirmation.

[ruflin]

AFAIK the two relevant ones for the build process are

./dev-tools/packaging/templates/docker/Dockerfile.elastic-agent.tmpl
./dev-tools/packaging/templates/docker/Dockerfile.tmpl

I see there are some more .tmpl files which might be relevant to change. @andrewkroh You might be able to chime in on this.

The one in the *beat/ directories are mostly used for testing and depend on Go images. I would not change these. All the Dockerfiles in the modules directory are service specific and should not be changed.

@jsoriano Pinging you because I think you also touched this in the past.
