Talk about optimizing container image builds @ContainerConf

As part of ContainerConf I gave a talk about optimizing the build process of container images. This can be achieved in the following dimensions: faster builds, smaller images, more secure contents and easier maintenance.

I covered the following topics:

• Multi-stage builds
• FROM scratch
• Order of commands
• BuildKit RUN cache
• Heredocs
• USER
• Parallelization in multi-stage builds
• Build automation using CI/CD
• BuildKit remote cache
• Testing container images
• Scanning for vulnerabilities
• Dependency update using RenovateBot
• Auto merging patch updates

The slides are a result of my slide and demo build system. Take a look at the release for this talk.
