• Cloud Native Buildpacks simplifies building container images
• Customizing the build process is necessary for some workflows
• Inline buildpacks and build time environment variables can be used for customization
• Base image extension with Dockerfiles can be used by platform operators
• Buildpacks can be used to implement unique build patterns

• Buildpacks are a declarative way to translate application source code into a production image.
• Multi-architecture images are becoming increasingly important as developers require their applications to run on both x86_64 and ARM64.
• The current platform specification maps a platform onto a single architecture, so there is a need to explore approaches to implementing multi-architecture images.
• Three high-level approaches to implementing multi-architecture images are presented.
• The talk aims to accelerate the discussion around multi-architecture images and encourage design questions around it.

• Buildpacks, flux, and Cartographer projects can automate the software supply chain and help to address container builds at scale while minimizing the burden on developers
• Buildpacks simplifies the process of going from source code to a running container without requiring Docker files
• Buildpacks creates an S-bomb natively as part of the build process and supports a wide variety of S-bom formats
• Rebasing capability in Buildpacks is key for large organizations with hundreds of apps that use a common base OS layer
• Cartographer is a Kubernetes native supply chain that automates best practices and a shift left methodology
• Flux is a Git watcher that runs the supply chain when the developer commits code to the repository
• Choreography is more flexible than linear orchestration and is based on a Kubernetes API
• Supply chain can be triggered automatically without a code commit from the developer

• Cloudnative buildbacks allow developers to focus on development rather than image building
• Buildpacks follow a modular approach and provide layer by layer information of the container
• Buildpacks help create OCI images without writing a Docker file
