Docker Build Cloud is a service that lets you build container images faster,
both locally and in CI. Builds run on cloud infrastructure optimally
dimensioned for your workloads, with no configuration required. The service
uses a remote build cache, ensuring fast builds anywhere and for all team
members.

Docker Build Cloud provides several benefits over local builds:

- Improved build speed
- Shared build cache
- Native multi-platform builds

There’s no need to worry about managing builders or infrastructure — simply
connect to your builders and start building. Each cloud builder provisioned to
an organization is completely isolated to a single Amazon EC2 instance, with a
dedicated EBS volume for build cache and encryption in transit. That means
there are no shared processes or data between cloud builders.

Title: Introduction to Docker Build Cloud
Summary
Docker Build Cloud is a service that accelerates container image builds both locally and in CI by leveraging cloud infrastructure and a shared build cache. It offers improved build speed, native multi-platform builds, and eliminates the need for managing builders or infrastructure. Cloud builders are isolated and secure, provisioned on dedicated Amazon EC2 instances.
