A Word on ‘Docker Buildx’

What is Docker Buildx?

Docker Buildx can be defined as a CLI plugin that provides us with the extra features supported by the Moby BuildKit builder toolkit along with the features of the normal docker commands. Furthermore, it also provides us with the same user experience as building with the docker build command.

Also, along with some new extra features added over it like building against multiple nodes with multi-arch images concurrently, builder instances, etc. In addition to that, buildx also supports new features that are not yet available for regular docker build like building manifest lists, distributed caching, etc.
