+1 on Trivy/Snyk, but keep in mind a scanner only tells you your image is safe — not that it's good. It's surprisingly easy to end up with a zero-CVE, 1.5GB image from the simple mistakes listed in section 8. That's the Dockerfile linter's job: I work on tally (tally.wharflab.com/), which catches the classics (root user, unpinned tags, leftover apt cache) plus things guides rarely cover — heredocs over && chains, newer COPY flags, and per-runtime rules for Ruby, PHP, etc. Scanner for what's in the image, linter for how it's built.

Nice AI article

Great article

Each instruction creates a new layer in the Docker image.

not all commands create a new layer like CMD, ENTRYPOINT just added in metadata or configuration of the image !
