About:
Docker Buildx is a CLI plugin that extends the standard Docker build capabilities by leveraging the BuildKit builder engine. It enables advanced features such as building multi-platform images, parallel builds, and exporting build cache to external locations. This tool is essential for developers needing efficient, complex build workflows and cross-compilation support.
Key Features:
  • Multi-platform image builds (linux/amd64, linux/arm64, etc.)
  • Advanced build cache management and export/import
  • Parallel builds and more efficient builder instances
  • Dockerfile syntax extensions for better build performance
Use Cases:
  • Creating container images for multiple CPU architectures (e.g., Apple Silicon and x86 servers)
  • CI/CD pipelines requiring fast, cached builds
  • Building images with complex dependencies using advanced caching
Alternatives:
  • Standard Docker Build – Buildx replaces the default builder with a more powerful, flexible, and performant engine.
  • Kaniko – Kaniko is for building within Kubernetes; Buildx is a local CLI tool that can push to registries.
