Until recently, running docker build against Dockerfile had been the only way to build container images. However, lots of opensource software are being proposed as successors/alternatives to docker build:- BuildKit (Moby Project / Docker)- img (Jessica Frazelle / Microsoft)- Buildah (Project Atomic / Red Hat)- umoci & Orca (SUSE)- Bazel (Google)- OpenShift S2I (Red Hat) Akihiro Suda compares these new tools' advantages and disadvantages.His evaluation basis would include but not be limited to:- Performance (Cache efficiency, Concurrency, Distributed Execution)- Secret management, e.g. SSH and AWS keys- Support for non-Dockerfile- Non-root execution- UI & UX- Governance of the community He also proposes a unified interface for using these tools with Kubernetes in a vendor-neutral way.
