Hello!
To optimize your CI/CD pipeline with TorizonCore Builder and reduce both time and cost, you can implement caching strategies for the Torizon OS base image and container layers. Here are some steps you can take:
-
Cache the Torizon OS Base Image: You can download and unpack the Torizon OS base image once and reuse it for subsequent builds unless a new version is available. Use the
images unpackcommand to unpack the image into a Docker volume, which can be reused across builds. This prevents the need to download the base image every time. -
Leverage Docker Layer Caching: Configure your CI/CD pipeline to use Docker’s layer caching. This way, only the layers that have changed will be pulled, significantly reducing the time spent downloading container images. Ensure your pipeline is set up to cache these layers between runs.
-
Use Standalone Commands for Incremental Changes: Instead of running the entire build process from scratch, use standalone commands to apply specific customizations. This allows you to reuse previously unpacked images and only apply new changes, saving time.
-
Consider Docker Compose: If your containers rarely change, manage them with a Docker Compose file. The
bundlecommand can pre-bundle these images, and you can use thecombinecommand to merge them with your custom Torizon OS image.
By implementing these strategies, you can effectively cache the necessary components and optimize your pipeline’s efficiency.
