     4  ### Buildkit
     5  
     6  [Proposal](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/32925)
     7  
     8  More updates to the [POC repo](https://github.com/tonistiigi/buildkit_poc). It now contains binaries for the daemon and client. Examples directory shows a way for invoking a build job by generating the internal low-level build graph definition with a helper binary(as there is not support for frontends yet). The grpc control server binary can be built in two versions, one that connects to containerD socket and other that doesn't have any external dependencies.
