Container Build

Definitions

1. The process of assembling a container image from a base image, dependencies, application artifacts, and build instructions. Container builds influence image size, startup time, cache efficiency, and how reproducible and secure the resulting image will be.

   In plain English: The process of creating a container image.

   Example: "They optimized the container build by separating dependency installation from source copy steps so unchanged libraries stayed cached across commits."
