Note
If you are visiting this repo for the usage of BuildKit-only Dockerfile features
like RUN --mount=type=(bind|cache|tmpfs|secret|ssh), please refer to the
Dockerfile reference.
Note
docker build uses Buildx and BuildKit by default since Docker Engine 23.0.
You don't need to read this document unless you want to use the full-featured
standalone version of BuildKit.
