🎉 Google has applied for

ko
is a simple, fast container image builder for Go applications.
It's ideal for use cases where your image contains a single Go application without any/many dependencies on the OS base image (e.g., no cgo, no OS package dependencies).
ko
builds images by effectively executing go build
on your local machine,
and as such doesn't require docker
to be installed. This can make it a good
fit for lightweight CI/CD use cases.
ko
makes multi-platform builds easy, produces SBOMs by default, and includes support for simple YAML templating which makes it a powerful tool for Kubernetes applications.
Install ko
and get started!
Acknowledgements
