Let’s optimize Docker builds to create much smaller and more secure Docker images in a fraction of the usual build time…

At this point probably everybody has heard about Docker and most developers are familiar with it, use it, and therefore know the basics such as how to build a Docker image. It is as easy as running docker built -t name:tag . , yet there is much more to it, especially when it comes to optimizing both the build process and the final image that is created. So, in this article we will go beyond the basics and we will look at how we can influence the build process of Docker images to make it faster and to produce much slimmer and more secure images for our applications.
