Cloud Native Buildpacks

Cloud Native Buildpacks provide a way of creating production-ready container images for your applications that come with built-in operability like observability, and security and governance-relevant aspects like reproducible builds and easy-to-access Bill-of-Materials.

The Cloud Native Buildpacks brings under one umbrella the "dialects" of buildpacks found in Cloud Foundry and Heroku. According to the Buildpacks.io website: "The [Cloud Native Buildpacks] project aims to unify the buildpack ecosystems with a platform-to-buildpack contract that is well-defined and that incorporates learnings from maintaining production-grade buildpacks for years at both Pivotal and Heroku."
