CI/CD Pipeline for Docker Image Build Validation

[AlmarAubel]

Proposal

I propose adding a new step or a separate pipeline within our CI/CD process, specifically focused on building Docker images. The primary objective of this step would be to validate the successful creation of Docker images, ensuring that any changes in the codebase do not inadvertently break the Docker build process.

Benefits

• Prevention of Regression: This step would serve as an early detection mechanism for issues related to Docker image creation.
• Consistent Build Verification: By automating Docker image builds within our CI/CD pipeline, we can ensure that every merge or pull request consistently adheres to the Docker configuration standards.
• Efficiency in Troubleshooting: Identifying Docker build issues early in the development cycle can significantly reduce troubleshooting time and effort, leading to more efficient development workflows.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this proposal, especially regarding its feasibility and any potential impact on our current CI/CD workflow.
