ACR Build (Preview) Now Supported In All Public Regions
ACR Build, a native container build capability of the Azure Container Registry is now available in all regions ACR is available. That's 23 regions worldwide as of July 23rd 2018.
ACR Build enables network close builds, alongside your container registry. While docker has an efficient image layering scheme, image layers can grow in size. Reducing the network distance your image pull and push operations must travel is key to improving reliability, speed and reducing network egress costs.
Wherever you run your Azure Container Registry, you can now build Linux, Windows and ARM right alongside.
OS & Framework Patching of Containers
ACR Build is primarily focused on the container lifecycle management challenge. ACR Build supports:
- builds from your local directory
az acr build . - git commit based builds
az acr build-task create - base image updates, providing Container OS & Framework patching
ACR Build is currently in preview, incorporating feedback. Based on feedback, we've recently enabled:
- remote context, such as an existing git repository with nested folders
az acr build \ -t hello-acr:{{.Build.ID}} \ https://github.com/Azure-Samples/acr-helloworld.git
and nested folders
az acr build \ -t hello-world-of-windows:{{.Build.ID}} \ https://github.com/AzureCR/acr-builder-os-tests.git#master:Windows/Servercore - multi-tagging support
-t image1:{{.Build.ID}} -t image1:latest - ARM support
- Windows support
- {{.Build.Date}} is coming soon
