deploying buildx agents with kubectl/helm

[itsmethemojo]

When running multiple ci pipelines for multiple projects in kubernetes it is imho more clever to deploy the the agents (in my case for amd64 and arm64) once and then reuse them from within the pipelines with docker buildx use. I cant find a documentation to start those agents with something other then docker buildx create.

For me it would make more sense to bootstrap the agents with kubectl/helm. so i have this agents config in code. Is there some documentation i missed?

The parts here all rely on starting the agents with docker buildx create https://docs.docker.com/build/builders/drivers/kubernetes/#native

So what I would like to do simplified

1. Bootstrap my ci environment when setting up the cluster

helm install docker-registry-for-caching
helm install docker-agent-amd64
helm install docker-agent-arm64

2. running project pipelines doing this

docker buildx use amd64
docker buildx use arm64
docker buildx build

This way i do not have to bootrap or clean agents from within the pipelines and the pipeline runner pods do not have to have permissions to do that.
