The Docker Build Action is a premium action which allows you to construct a docker image from a Docker File and a Docker Context. The Docker File describes how the docker image should be constructed, while the Docker Context gives access to any required files to make the created image work. Subsequently running the docker image will create a container, which is an instance of the image.
