Build containers faster with Jib, a Google image build tool for Java applications

Containers are at the heart of many complex distributed systems. Traditionally, Dockerfiles define container image builds from the system up. You start with a base OS, add dependency libraries, and then install your application. This can be cumbersome, error prone, and slow. Google is building container images a different way. Applications that used to take minutes to build and push now take seconds. How do we do it? By building containers from the application down.
Qingyang Chen and Appu Goundan demonstrate how to speed up container-based development by building container images with Jib. Jib speeds up development by finely separating your application across multiple layers and incrementally building the images. Instead of using Dockerfiles, Jib packs a Java application into a container by inferring what it needs from your Maven or Gradle project.
Google has released Jib to the open source community. Qingyang and Appu share how you can leverage its capabilities to speed up your development process and orchestrate larger, more complex systems.

But Google docker registry doesn’t work anymore, so now Google artifacts should be used, but this doesn’t work with jib :(

How can I set the global jib configuration file in Jenkins? I executed ./gradlew jib -Djib.to.auth.username=my-username -Djib.to.auth.password=my-password but getting IOException because it is looking for the global jib configuration.

Jib is a Plugin for Maven and Gradle to build Docker Images from JAR files

[@mohnishkamble]

Manoj Shetty from jar or from Java application (i.e. source code)?
