BuildKit
BuildKit executes a Dockerfile as a graph of steps, runs independent stages in parallel and reuses cached layers. Buildx is the CLI plugin that drives it and builds images for several architectures at once.
Key concepts #
- Cache mounts: keep package caches between builds.
- Secrets: use a credential in a build without leaving it in a layer.
- Multi-platform:
linux/amd64andlinux/arm64.
