Question

You've decided to use Multiple Stage Builds to improve the accessibility and management of the Dockerfile. What are the points to consider for having multiple-stage builds?

Answer 1

You should consider using Container Modularity, avoiding Application Data, avoiding any extra modules, and adopting an Appropriate Base. Multi-stage builds are a recently updated feature that requires at least Docker 17.05 on both the daemon and the client. Those who are willing to improve Dockerfiles while making them comprehensible and manageable would benefit from multi-stage builds.
