Run mv Is Slower Than cp in a Dockerfile
· β˜• 6 min read
Unlike on CentOS or Ubuntu, where we feel that mv is faster than cp, when you build an image with a Dockerfile, using Run cp is faster than Run mv. This post presents the test and verification data behind that. 1. Test Setup Machine environment Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS 32C

1. The Challenge of a Cross-Region Harbor If all you need is to store image data in a simple way, Registry is an excellent choice as an image repository. Registry not only supports multiple storage backends, but can also be configured with HTTPS certificates and access credentials. Worth noting: Harbor also uses Registry to store image data.

How Staged Builds Cache Third-Party Dependencies
· β˜• 10 min read
In a non-staged build scenario, when we use a container to build, we can mount the cache directory inside the container onto the build host, run the build task, and then copy the artifacts into the runtime image to produce the application image. But with a staged build, the build image and the runtime image live in the same Dockerfile, which makes it harder to optimize the caching of third-party dependencies.
