Windows Docker Layer Caching
J
J Sprigg
The windows environment should have docker layer caching so that its capabilities are in line with the linux environment.
This would be particularly useful because windows docker images are substantially larger than their linux counterparts.
For our use case, we are pulling a 30gb image with each build and it is taking around 30 minutes. If DLC was available our total build time would go from ~35 minutes to ~5minutes.

Bobby Uhlenbrock Could you share more information about the behavior you're seeing when trying to use DLC on Windows?

Sebastian Lerner: Howdy! I have tried a number of different configurations. I have one working now with the "machine" configuration, and the just spins up and runs with DLC enabled — but the job never gets faster over time (like J Sprigg said, it's ~30 mins each time just pulling the layers.)

Yes, please. This is really important for Windows users.
