Cloud Native Buildpacks makes building container images a breeze. It comes with out-of-the-box support for rebasing, reproducibility, multiple entrypoints and more! In this talk we’ll uncover the magic that the lifecycle - the binary at the heart of CNB - uses to convert source code into OCI images.
Cloud Native Buildpacks transform your application source code into runnable images - without Dockerfiles.
Why is this helpful?
- It allows application developers to focus on what they’re building, and not on how to support it in production
- It gives operators precise control over what build inputs are permitted and how builds are executed
- Lastly operations like rebase that allow mass-patching the base image can have dramatic consequences for large-scale reactions to OS vulnerabilities
Takeaways
In this talk we will explore how lifecycle - the binary at the heart of buildpacks - makes all this possible. We will be going through the 5 different stages that the lifecycle executes - detect, analyze, restore, build and finally export and how it stitches up the final OCI image.
