Cloud driver

Table of contents

The Buildx cloud driver connects to managed BuildKit instances in Docker Build Cloud. Docker provisions and maintains the builder infrastructure, shared build cache, and native linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 nodes.

The cloud driver requires Buildx version 0.37.0 or later and access to Docker Build Cloud.

Synopsis

Before connecting Buildx, create a cloud builder on the Docker Build Cloud Dashboard. Then sign in and connect to the builder:

$ docker login
$ docker buildx create --driver cloud <ORG>/<BUILDER_NAME>

The command adds the cloud builder to your local Buildx configuration. It does not create a builder in Docker Build Cloud.

For service prerequisites and authentication, see Docker Build Cloud setup. For build examples, see Building with Docker Build Cloud.
