Part 2: Managing Large Environments

In this part, we will extend the basics by combining and extending the concepts we established in Part 1. We will show you how to utilize multiple builders with efficiency and select a strategy for image hierarchy to save duplicate work and optimize code reuse. We will cover cloud builders and show you how to build common images across AWS, Azure, Google, and local environments. We will also explore the usage of mixed architectures and the very powerful QEMU builder to show how you can build and test your applications across cloud providers at the same time as mobile devices, IoT, and even microcontrollers.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 6, Working with Builders
• Chapter 7, Building an Image Hierarchy
• Chapter 8, Scaling Large Builds
