KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2018

Over the years Kubernetes has had a number of different approaches to building images on or for Kubernetes. Now is a good time to take stock of Kubernetes' image building support from the perspective of different types of users. In this session, we'll look at a little history of building images for use with Kubernetes. We will review and demo some specific examples with working in this space dating back to the very beginning of Kubernetes and containerized applications, then lead a conversation around some of the challenges and techniques when either building images on or for Kubernetes. Challenges that need to be considered when building images on kubernetes include dependencies on a local docker daemon, security/privilege requirements, and caching+reuse of build artifacts.
