DevConf.cz 2021

Over the past decade, we have witnessed a dramatic shift in how developers package and deploy their source code. With Kubernetes, the unit of delivery has shifted from compiled binaries and scripts to container images. Assembling container images is not a simple task, requiring deep knowledge of a growing set of tools and technologies. This task becomes even more difficult when trying to replicate these processes on Kubernetes.

In this session we will introduce Shipwright, a vendor-neutral project that provides a framework for building container images on Kubernetes. We will discuss the origins of Shipwright, the objectives of the project, and demonstrate how Shipwright can be used to build a container image on Kubernetes using a wide variety of tools. Shipwright currently powers container image builds on IBM Code Engine, and will be used as the basis for OpenShift Builds v2 in the near future.
