Description

Follow-up of https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/issues/907

AWS have just announced a new open source feature for making docker images load faster. It would be great if support can be added for the build, and push stage of the action. 🙏

Getting started with the SOCI snapshot tool: https://github.com/awslabs/soci-snapshotter/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md

Research direction

Start by reading the linked build-push-action issue, AWS announcement, and SOCI snapshotter getting-started guide. The payload names no BuildKit files or tests; support would be complete when the build and push stages handle SOCI indexes, with corresponding validation in the relevant test coverage.
