Build image reference

All non-macOS release artifacts are produced within container images that are hosted on the Datadog Docker Hub.

Note

These images are not meant to be used directly outside of CI scenarios. Instead, use the developer environments to build and test the Agent.

Linux

The Linux builder, available as datadog/agent-buildimages-linux, is used to build all Linux release artifacts except for the RPM distribution (temporary limitation). It ships a custom toolchain for cross-compiling the Agent.

The image is based on Ubuntu 24.04 and supports both the amd64 and arm64 host architectures.

Windows

The Windows builder, available as datadog/agent-buildimages-windows_x64, is used to build all Windows release artifacts.

The image is based on Windows Server 2022 and only supports the amd64 host architecture.

macOS

Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to maintain a dedicated macOS container image. macOS release artifacts are built on a custom AMI that is not publicly available. Contributors must manually set up their local environment in order to build macOS-specific release artifacts.
