  Building imagesBuilding imagesBuilding container images is both technical and an art. You want to keep the
  image small and focused to increase your security posture, but also need to
  balance potential tradeoffs, such as caching impacts. In this series, youâll
  deep dive into the secrets of images, how they are built and best practices.Skill level

  NoneAbout this seriesLearn how to build production-ready images that are lean and efficient Docker
  images, essential for minimizing overhead and enhancing deployment in
  production environments.What you'll learnUnderstanding image layersWriting a DockerfileBuild, tag and publish an imageUsing the build cacheMulti-stage buildsModules1. Understanding the image layers
  Have you ever wondered how images work? This guide will help you to
  understand image layers - the fundamental building blocks of container
  images. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of how layers are created,
  stacked, and utilized to ensure efficient and optimized containers.Start2. Writing a Dockerfile
  Mastering Dockerfile practices is vital for leveraging container technology
  effectively, enhancing application reliability and supporting DevOps and
  CI/CD methodologies. In this guide, youâll learn how to write a Dockerfile,
  how to define a base image and setup instructions, including software
  installation and copying necessary files.Start3. Build, tag, and publish an image
  Building, tagging, and publishing Docker images are key steps in the
  containerization workflow. In this guide, youâll learn how to create Docker
  images, how to tag those images with a unique identifier, and how to publish
  your image to a public registry.Start4. Using the build cache
  Using the build cache effectively allows you to achieve faster builds by
  reusing results
