Optimizes PHP Dockerfile structures by analyzing layer ordering, cache utilization, and build performance.
This skill provides a comprehensive auditing tool for PHP-based Docker containers, ensuring they follow industry best practices for build speed and image size. It identifies common anti-patterns such as copying source code before installing dependencies, redundant RUN commands, and improper ARG placement that busts the cache. By implementing these optimizations, developers can significantly reduce build times in CI/CD pipelines and improve local development efficiency through better layer reuse and BuildKit cache mount implementation.
