+# OBaaS 2.0 Container Image Build Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide documents the client-side container image building approach for OBaaS 2.0's hybrid architecture. Each framework uses different tooling to build and push container images to Oracle Cloud Registry, while maintaining a consistent developer experience.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Java 17 or later
+- Maven 3.8 or later
+- Docker or Podman
+- Oracle Cloud Registry access and authentication
+- kubectl configured with cluster access
+
+## Registry Configuration
+
+All services use these common properties:
+
+```xml
+<properties>
+    <obaas.registry>us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/tenancy</obaas.registry>
+    <obaas.image.version>0.0.1</obaas.image.version>
+</properties>
+```
+
+## Spring Boot Services (Account Service)
+
+### Technology Stack
+- **Framework**: Spring Boot 3.x
+- **Build Tool**: Spring Boot Maven Plugin with Cloud Native Buildpacks
+- **Package Type**: Fat JAR
+- **Container Strategy**: Buildpacks (automatic optimization)
+
+### POM Configuration
+
+```xml
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
+    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+    <configuration>
+        <image>
+            <name>${obaas.registry}/${project.artifactId}:${obaas.image.version}</name>
+            <publish>false</publish>
+        </image>
+    </configuration>
+</plugin>
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+```bash
+# Build JAR and container image
+mvn clean package spring-boot:build-image
+
+# Push to Oracle Cloud Registry
+docker push us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/tenancy/account:0.0.1
+```
+
+### Output
+- **JAR**: `target/account-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar` (fat JAR with all dependencies)
+- **Image**: Uses optimized buildpacks base image with automatic JVM tuning
+
+## Helidon Services (Customer Service)
+
+### Technology Stack
+- **Framework**: Helidon MP 4.2.3
+- **Build Tool**: Eclipse JKube Kubernetes Maven Plugin
+- **Package Type**: Thin JAR + libs directory
+- **Container Strategy**: JKube generator with Helidon detection
+
+### POM Configuration
+
+```xml
+<properties>
+    <helidon-maven-plugin.version>4.0.14</helidon-maven-plugin.version>
+    <jkube.version>1.16.2</jkube.version>
+    <jkube.generator.name>us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/maacloud/${project.artifactId}:${project.version}</jkube.generator.name>
+</properties>
+
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
+    <artifactId>kubernetes-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+    <version>${jkube.version}</version>
+</plugin>
+```
+
+### Environment Setup (macOS with Rancher Desktop)
+
+```bash
+# Set Docker host for JKube compatibility
+export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///Users/$USER/.rd/docker.sock
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+```bash
+# Build thin JAR and libs
+mvn clean package
+
+# Build container image
+mvn k8s:build
+
+# Push to Oracle Cloud Registry
+docker push us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/tenancy/customer-helidon:1.0-SNAPSHOT
+```
+
+### Output
+- **JAR**: `target/customer-helidon.jar` (thin JAR)
+- **Dependencies**: `target/libs/` (all dependencies)
+- **Deployment**: `target/customer-helidon-deployment.zip`
+- **Image**: Uses JKube Java base image with automatic Helidon configuration
+
+## Alternative: Helidon with Jib
+
+For environments where JKube has Docker connectivity issues:
+
+### POM Configuration
+
+```xml
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId>
+    <artifactId>jib-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+    <version>3.4.0</version>
+    <configuration>
+        <to>
+            <image>${obaas.registry}/${project.artifactId}:${obaas.image.version}</image>
+        </to>
+        <container>
+            <mainClass>io.helidon.microprofile.cdi.Main</mainClass>
+            <ports>
+                <port>8080</port>
+            </ports>
+        </container>
+    </configuration>
+</plugin>
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+```bash
+# Build and push directly (no Docker daemon required)
+mvn compile jib:build
+```
+
+
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Oracle Cloud Registry Login
+
+```bash
+docker login us-phoenix-1.ocir.io
+# Username: <tenancy-namespace>/<username>
+# Password: <auth-token>
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Spring Boot: Buildpacks Authentication Issues
+**Symptom**: "Anonymous users are only allowed read access"
+**Solution**: Use separate build and push:
+```bash
+mvn clean package spring-boot:build-image
+docker push <image-name>
+```
+
+#### Helidon: Docker Connectivity Issues
+**Symptom**: "No DOCKER_HOST given"
+**Solution**: Export Docker host for Rancher Desktop:
+```bash
+export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///Users/$USER/.rd/docker.sock
+```
+
+#### JKube: Wrong Image Name
+**Symptom**: Image tagged as `example/customer-helidon:latest`
+**Solution**: Add build configuration to JKube plugin as shown above
+
+## OBaaS 2.0 Hybrid Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Client-Side (Build & Push)
+
+```bash
+# Spring Boot
+mvn clean package spring-boot:build-image
+docker push us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/tenancy/account:0.0.1
+
+# Helidon
+mvn clean package k8s:build
+docker push us-phoenix-1.ocir.io/tenancy/customer-helidon:1.0-SNAPSHOT
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Server-Side (Deploy)
+
+```bash
+# Orchestrated deployment via OBaaS server
+mvn obaas:deploy
+```
+
+## Benefits by Framework
+
+### Spring Boot
+- **Mature Tooling**: Built-in buildpacks support
+- **Automatic Optimization**: JVM tuning, security updates
+- **Cross-Platform**: Works on any OS
+- **Layer Caching**: Efficient rebuilds
+
+### Helidon
+- **Thin JAR Benefits**: Better Docker layer caching
+- **Framework Support**: JKube has native Helidon detection
+- **Flexibility**: Choice between JKube and Jib
+- **Lightweight**: Smaller base images
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Aspect | Spring Boot | Helidon |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| **Build Time** | ~30-60 seconds | ~30-45 seconds |
+| **Image Size** | ~150-200 MB | ~120-150 MB |
+| **Startup Time** | ~3-5 seconds | ~2-4 seconds |
+| **Memory Usage** | Higher (fat JAR) | Lower (thin JAR) |
+| **Layer Caching** | Good | Excellent |
+
+Both approaches provide fast, reliable container image building suitable for enterprise CI/CD pipelines and local development workflows.
