Accelerate CI/CD pipelines with the new AWS CodeBuild Docker Server capability
AWS News Blog
AWS CodeBuild has introduced a new Docker Server capability that allows provisioning a dedicated, persistent Docker server within CodeBuild projects to accelerate CI/CD pipelines.
- Enables centralized Docker image building on a remote host
- Provides persistent storage with consistent Docker layer caching
- Can handle multiple concurrent Docker build operations
- Demonstrated a 98% reduction in build time (from 24 minutes to 16 seconds)
- Supports both x86 (Linux) and ARM build architectures
- Available in all AWS Regions where CodeBuild is offered
The feature significantly improves build performance by maintaining cached layers between builds, especially for complex Docker images with multiple dependencies.
