DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

Dockerfiles have versions?

Listen Later

I break down why Dockerfile frontends exist and how Docker's build engine "BuildKit" is giving us updated Dockerfile features.

šŸ™Œ My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course. https://learn.bretfisher.com/waitlistšŸ¾

The TL;DR of this podcast is to add this to your Dockerfiles as the first line, always and forever.

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1


It'll ensure your Dockerfile will have access to the latest v1.x features of the "Dockerfile frontend" feature of BuildKit.
