High-level builds with Bake
Experimental
Bake is an experimental feature, and we are looking for feedback from usersopen_in_new.
Buildx provides support for high-level build orchestration that goes beyond invoking a single build command. Bake lets you build all the images in your application together. You can define all of the build jobs for your projects in a file that can then be easily invoked by anyone.
You can think of Bake as a task runner for Docker builds.
BuildKitopen_in_new efficiently handles multiple
concurrent build requests and de-duplicating work. You can invoke your builds
using general-purpose task runners, like make. However, such tools generally
invoke builds in a sequence. Therefore they aren't leveraging the full
potential of BuildKit parallelization. Bake solves this problem.
The docker buildx bake command supports building images from a configuration
file in HCL, JSON or YAML format. The YAML format extends the Compose
Specification, and it's similar to docker compose build, except it builds all
of your services concurrently as part of a single request.
