Docker’s Build Cloud lets developers build their containers in the cloud

At last year’s DockerCon, Docker launched its Docker Build remote build service and today it is taking this a step further with the launch of Docker Build Cloud, a fully managed service that, you guessed it, allows development teams to offload their image builds to the cloud. Docker promises that its new service can speed up build times by up to 39x.
“Every week, millions of developers run ‘docker build [x],” Giri Sreenivas, Docker’s chief product officer, told me, referring to the standard command developers use to kick off their Docker builds. “We have an opportunity to give them a way to get time back without really changing their workflows and their tools. And we think that’s a big deal. There’s no additional cognitive overload associated with switching to a new tool. There’s no context switching associated with using another company’s tool and, frankly, it’s something that we heard from customers for years: we would love to be able to have faster build times. What can you do to help us with faster build times?'”
