Asked about Containers and deployment

Why does Dockerfile layer order matter?

An answer that works

Each instruction is a cached layer, and a change invalidates every layer after it. Copying dependency files and installing before copying source means a code change does not reinstall dependencies, which is the difference between a fast build and a slow one.
