Having a optimized build and CI/CD process results in faster, efficient and cost effective builds. Here are Top 5 things for optimization.

1. Build Lean Container Images - Separate building the application from building its runtime layer and build form minimal base images

2. Using a cache like Kaniko with your build to cache container build artifacts. Kaniko works with all major cloud container registry.

3. Selective deployments based on last build and changes

4. Exclude files not required by build using vendor supported *.ignore files

5. Move towards Green computing - Understand the carbon impact of your builds and schedule it - batch changes for build, leverage green regions and timelines..
