Spring Boot 2.3.0.M1 has just been released and it brings with it some interesting new features that can help you package up your Spring Boot application into Docker images. In this blog post we’ll take a look at the typical ways developers create Docker images, and show how they can be improved by using these new features.

The driver for this was a request from a user to be able to use preemptive authentication with JFrog’s artifactory. Use of it is currently optional via a property but we’re looking to make it default sometime in the future and possibly introduce more…
