AWS CodeBuild Docker Server capability allows provisioning a dedicated Docker server within CodeBuild projects, reducing build times and improving efficiency.
The Docker Server capability significantly reduces building time, as seen with a 98% reduction in total time from 24 minutes to 16 seconds in a benchmark.
AWS CodeBuild simplifies continuous integration services by compiling code, running tests, and preparing software packages for deployment.
The Docker Server feature provides a persistent Docker server with caching, enhancing build times and efficiency.
By enabling Docker Server in CodeBuild projects, a dedicated server with consistent caching for multiple concurrent Docker builds is established.
The article demonstrates the process of utilizing AWS CodeBuild Docker Server capability for building complex Docker images efficiently.
The build environment includes various programming languages, tools, and dependencies that benefit from persistent caching during Docker image builds.
To leverage Docker Server, users can configure it in the AWS CodeBuild console, allowing for subsequent builds to benefit from reduced time due to caching.
Through the persistent caching of Docker layers, subsequent builds saw a significant reduction in build times, demonstrating the efficiency of Docker Server.
The Docker Server capability supports x86 (Linux) and ARM builds, is available in all AWS Regions, and its pricing details can be found on the AWS CodeBuild pricing page.
