Multi-Platform Builds and Docker Desktop Integration with Docker Build Cloud

variable](/manuals/build/building/variables.md#buildx_builder) to select the cloud builder. ## Loading build results Building with `--tag` loads the build result to the local image store automatically when the build finishes. To build without a tag and load the result, you must pass the `--load` flag. Loading the build result for multi-platform images is not supported. Use the `docker buildx build --push` flag when building multi-platform images to push the output to a registry. ```console $ docker buildx build --builder cloud-<ORG>-<BUILDER_NAME> \ --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \ --tag <IMAGE> \ --push . ``` If you want to build with a tag, but you don't want to load the results to your local image store, you can export the build results to the build cache only: ```console $ docker buildx build --builder cloud-<ORG>-<BUILDER_NAME> \ --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \ --tag <IMAGE> \ --output type=cacheonly . ``` ## Multi-platform builds To run multi-platform builds, you must specify all of the platforms that you want to build for using the `--platform` flag. ```console $ docker buildx build --builder cloud-<ORG>-<BUILDER_NAME> \ --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \ --tag <IMAGE> \ --push . ``` If you don't specify the platform, the cloud builder automatically builds for the architecture matching your local environment. To learn more about building for multiple platforms, refer to [Multi-platform builds](/build/building/multi-platform/). ## Cloud builds in Docker Desktop The Docker Desktop [Builds view](/desktop/use-desktop/builds/) works with Docker Build Cloud out of the box. This view can show information about not only your own builds, but also builds initiated by your team members using the same builder. Teams using a shared builder get access to information such as: - Ongoing and completed builds - Build configuration, statistics, dependencies, and results - Build source (Dockerfile) - Build logs and errors This lets you and your team work collaboratively on troubleshooting and improving build speeds, without having to send build logs and benchmarks back and forth between each other.

This section covers loading build results with and without tags, building multi-platform images using the `--platform` flag, and how Docker Desktop integrates with Docker Build Cloud to provide information about builds, including those initiated by team members.
