# Implementation Guide

1. **Analyze Application**
   - Identify runtime and dependencies
   - Map build process steps
   - Document runtime requirements

2. **Select Base Image**
   - Choose minimal appropriate base
   - Consider distroless or alpine variants
   - Check for security vulnerabilities

3. **Generate Dockerfile**
   - Use Cascade for initial generation
   - Apply multi-stage build pattern
   - Optimize layer ordering

4. **Configure Security**
   - Add non-root user
   - Remove unnecessary tools
   - Set appropriate permissions

5. **Test and Validate**
   - Build image locally
   - Check image size
