My Talk about #BuildKit at #DockerCon Live 2020
Published on 28 May 2020Tags #Docker #Container #DockerCon #BuildKit #Slides #Slide Deck
This week I had the honor of talking at DockerCon Live 2020. It was a dream come true and I was really excited considering that over roughly 70K registered for the event and nearly 24K watched the keynote. I presented how to improve container image builds using BuildKit. In contrast to many other virtual conferences, talks were pre-recorded and played at the designated time. This approach allowed speakers to interact with the audience during the talk.
In my talk I focused on creating container images and covered the advantages BuildKit offers:
- Multi-stage builds benefit from parallel execution
- The build cache can use remote image
- Build secrets can be mounted into builds steps
- Cache directories can be persisted across image builds
I also added guidelines for using BuildKit without the Docker CLI and how to transition from docker build
to buildctl
.
The event page contains the video as well as the chat transcript to follow questions and answers.
The slides are a result of my slide and demo build system. Take a look at the release for this talk.
