Using Azure DevOps to speed up Docker builds

[Braindump - warning]

So I’ve been playing with devcontainers for Visual Studio Code, they’re awesome… go play with them. They let you use a Dockerfile to describe all the tooling needed for devs to get started with your project.

One of the side effects is that you have a nice Dockerfile which you can then also use it for your build server meaning that you never have an inconsistency between your local setup and your CI server.

In this example I build a golang project and use Azure DevOps and use caching to minimize the amount of time for each build.
