Cloud driver

The Buildx cloud driver connects to managed BuildKit instances in Docker Build Cloud. Docker provisions and maintains the builder infrastructure, shared build cache, and native linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 nodes.

The cloud driver requires Buildx version 0.37.0 or later and access to Docker Build Cloud.

Synopsis#

Before connecting Buildx, create a cloud builder on the Docker Build Cloud Dashboard. Then sign in and connect to the builder:

$ docker login
$ docker buildx create --driver cloud <ORG>/<BUILDER_NAME>

The command adds the cloud builder to your local Buildx configuration. It does not create a builder in Docker Build Cloud.

For service prerequisites and authentication, see Docker Build Cloud setup. For build examples, see Building with Docker Build Cloud.
