docker.image() is poorly implemented because its builds and push every time without checking the dir hash. how do you solve this issue?

maybe try https://github.com/MaterializeInc/pulumi-docker-buildkit

i dont know how to use this with gcp

the example code uses AWS but it looks to me that this a drop in replacement for the Docker provider.

this is tracked here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker/issues/132
