In the Dockerfile, add the following statement and you should be able to use ps

 RUN microdnf update && microdnf install procps

The baggage this package brings with it, is surprising. I simply refuse to believe that "ps" requires "cpio", "cracklib", "systemd" and others. – Ed Randall Feb 17 '21 at 08:39
Upvoted for the info for using ```RUN microdnf update && microdnf install``` due to the absence of yum package management – djmonki Oct 07 '22 at 08:38

The package name is procps-ng

In ubi8/ubi: yum install procps-ng results in downloading one package, 389kB.

Similarly for ubi8/ubi-minimal: microdnf install procps-ng
