Description
Description
I would like to use the multiplatform building in my CI but ideally i would like to predefine a config file for consistency rather that having to run docker buildx create and appending for platform types. It would be good if i could do something like docker buildx create --from builders.yaml and then jump straight into building.
i.e.
# builders.yaml
kube:
arm64:
driver: kubernetes
driver-opt:
namepace: buildkit
nodeselector: "kubernetes.io/arch=arm64"
platform:
- linux/arm64
amd64:
driver: kubernetes
driver-opt:
namepace: buildkit
nodeselector: "kubernetes.io/arch=amd64"
platform:
- linux/amd64

Research direction
The issue names the docker buildx create command and proposes a builders.yaml input, but no repository files or tests. Start by tracing the create command and existing builder configuration handling. Done should include a defined configuration format, support for creating the described builders from that file, and tests for loading and applying it.
