Docker Bake and Chainguard Images Docker Bake is a great resource to define build configuration using a declarative file that integrates well with Chainguard Images. See how.

Docker Bake is a great improvement over using scripts and Makefiles to manage Docker builds. It went GA last week, so I wrote up a brief tutorial to help you get started!
