This guide is most relevant to platform operators and builder authors.
See the spec release for Platform API 0.11 for the full list of changes and further details.
launcher
are included in the application imageIn Platform 0.11, the lifecycle ships with standardized SBOM files describing the lifecycle
and launcher
binaries
(these are included in the tarball on the GitHub release page and within the image at index.docker.io/buildpacksio/lifecycle:<version>
).
After a build, SBOM files describing the launcher
are included in the application image at <layers>/sbom/launch/buildpacksio_lifecycle/launcher/sbom.<ext>
,
where <ext>
is each of: cdx.json
, spdx.json
, and syft.json
.
Additionally, SBOM files describing the lifecycle
are copied to <layers>/sbom/build/buildpacksio_lifecycle/sbom.<ext>
,
where they may be saved off by the platform prior to the build container exiting.
This mirrors what is already being done as of Platform 0.8 for buildpack-provided standardized SBOM files,
which are exported to <layers>/sbom/launch/<buildpack-id>/<layer>/sbom.<ext>
(for runtime dependencies)
and copied to <layers>/sbom/launch/<buildpack-id>/sbom.<ext>
(for build-time dependencies).
To use this feature, no additional action is required from platforms that are already handling buildpack-provided SBOM files. The SBOMs for the image will simply be more complete.
Previously, when rebasing an image, the rebased image would always be saved to the same tag as the original image. This prevented rebasing by digest, among other use cases.
In Platform 0.11, the original image may be specified separately from the destination image with the previous-image
flag, as in the following:
/cnb/lifecycle/rebaser -previous-image some-original-image some-destination-image
As before, additional tags for the destination image can also be provided:
/cnb/lifecycle/rebaser -previous-image some-original-image -tag some-additional-tag:latest some-destination-image
To use this feature, platforms can provide the new -previous-image
flag to the rebaser
.
Builders can include a /cnb/build-config/env/
directory to define environment variables for buildpacks.
As an example, file /cnb/build-config/env/SOME_VAR
with contents some-val
will become SOME_VAR=some-val
in the buildpack environment.
Files in the /cnb/build-config/env/
directory can use suffixes to control the behavior when another entity defines the same variable -
e.g., if /cnb/build-config/env/SOME_VAR.override
has contents some-builder-val
and <platform>/env/SOME_VAR
has contents some-user-val
,
the buildpack environment will contain SOME_VAR=some-builder-val
.
This is similar to the environment modification rules for buildpacks,
except that the default behavior when no file suffix is provided is default
.
The order of application for env directories is:
<layers>/<buildpack-id>/<layer>/<env>/
<platform>/env/
- overrides buildpack values/cnb/build-config/env/
For additional information, see the buildpack environment section in the Platform spec.
To use this feature, builder authors should include a /cnb/build-config/env/
directory with the desired configuration.
