+# Building IBM FinOps Agent
+
+## Multi-Architecture Builds
+
+The IBM FinOps Agent supports multi-architecture builds for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64` platforms.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker with [Buildx](https://docs.docker.com/buildx/working-with-buildx/) support
+- Docker Buildx is included in Docker Desktop and recent Docker Engine versions
+
+### Quick Start
+
+#### Using Make (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Build multi-arch image locally
+make build-multiarch
+
+# Build and push to registry
+make build-multiarch-push
+
+# Build with specific version
+VERSION=v1.0.0 make build-multiarch
+
+# See all available targets
+make help
+```
+
+#### Using the Build Script Directly
+
+```bash
+# Build locally (default)
+./build-multiarch.sh
+
+# Build with custom version
+./build-multiarch.sh --version v1.0.0
+
+# Build and push to registry
+./build-multiarch.sh --version v1.0.0 --registry gcr.io/my-project --push
+
+# Build with custom tag
+./build-multiarch.sh --version v1.0.0 --tag latest --push
+```
+
+### Build Script Options
+
+```
+Usage: ./build-multiarch.sh [OPTIONS]
+
+OPTIONS:
+    -v, --version VERSION       Version tag (default: dev)
+    -c, --commit COMMIT         Git commit hash (default: current HEAD)
+    -n, --name NAME             Image name (default: ibm-finops-agent)
+    -t, --tag TAG               Image tag (default: same as version)
+    -r, --registry REGISTRY     Registry prefix (default: localhost)
+    -p, --push                  Push image to registry (default: false)
+    -h, --help                  Show this help message
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+You can also use environment variables instead of command-line flags:
+
+```bash
+export VERSION=v1.0.0
+export REGISTRY=gcr.io/my-project
+export PUSH=true
+./build-multiarch.sh
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Local Development Build
+
+```bash
+# Build for local testing (amd64 only will be loaded)
+./build-multiarch.sh --version dev
+```
+
+#### Production Release Build
+
+```bash
+# Build and push to production registry
+./build-multiarch.sh \
+  --version v1.2.3 \
+  --registry gcr.io/production-project \
+  --push
+```
+
+#### Custom Registry and Tag
+
+```bash
+# Build with custom registry and tag
+./build-multiarch.sh \
+  --version v1.2.3 \
+  --tag latest \
+  --registry docker.io/myorg \
+  --push
+```
+
+### Important Notes
+
+1. **Local Loading Limitation**: When building without `--push`, only the `amd64` image can be loaded locally due to Docker limitations. To use multi-arch images, you must push to a registry.
+
+2. **Buildx Builder**: The script automatically creates and manages a buildx builder named `ibm-finops-multiarch`. This builder persists across builds.
+
+3. **Build Context**: The script must be run from the repository root directory where the `Dockerfile` is located.
+
+4. **Build Arguments**: The script passes `version` and `commit` as build arguments to the Dockerfile.
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/build-test.yaml`) automatically builds multi-arch images on pull requests:
+
+```yaml
+platforms: "linux/amd64,linux/arm64"
+```
+
+For releases, the workflow in `.github/workflows/build-release.yaml` triggers the integration CI/CD pipeline.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### Buildx Not Available
+
+```bash
+# Install buildx (if not included in your Docker installation)
+docker buildx install
+```
+
+#### Builder Issues
+
+```bash
+# Remove and recreate the builder
+docker buildx rm ibm-finops-multiarch
+./build-multiarch.sh
+```
+
+#### Platform-Specific Builds
+
+To build for a single platform:
+
+```bash
+docker buildx build \
+  --platform linux/amd64 \
+  --build-arg version=dev \
+  --build-arg commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
+  -t localhost/ibm-finops-agent:dev \
+  --load \
+  -f Dockerfile \
+  .
+```
+
+### Verifying Multi-Arch Images
+
+After pushing to a registry, verify the manifest includes both architectures:
+
+```bash
+docker buildx imagetools inspect gcr.io/my-project/ibm-finops-agent:v1.0.0
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+Name:      gcr.io/my-project/ibm-finops-agent:v1.0.0
+MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.list.v2+json
+Digest:    sha256:...
+
+Manifests:
+  Name:      gcr.io/my-project/ibm-finops-agent:v1.0.0@sha256:...
+  MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json
+  Platform:  linux/amd64
+
+  Name:      gcr.io/my-project/ibm-finops-agent:v1.0.0@sha256:...
+  MediaType: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json
+  Platform:  linux/arm64
+```
+
+## Standard Docker Build
+
+For single-architecture builds, you can use standard Docker commands:
+
+```bash
+docker build \
+  --build-arg version=dev \
+  --build-arg commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
+  -t ibm-finops-agent:dev \
+  -f Dockerfile \
+  .
+```
+
+## Testing Builds
+
+After building, test the image:
+
+```bash
+# Run locally
+docker run --rm ibm-finops-agent:dev --help
+
+# Run with environment variables
+docker run --rm \
+  -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \
+  ibm-finops-agent:dev
