This is only used for <code>LOCAL</code> cache types.</p> <p>Possible values are:</p> <dl> <dt>LOCAL_SOURCE_CACHE</dt> <dd> <p>Caches Git metadata for primary and secondary sources. After the cache is created, subsequent builds pull only the change between commits. This mode is a good choice for projects with a clean working directory and a source that is a large Git repository. If you choose this option and your project does not use a Git repository (GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, or Bitbucket), the option is ignored. </p> </dd> <dt>LOCAL_DOCKER_LAYER_CACHE</dt> <dd> <p>Caches existing Docker layers. This mode is a good choice for projects that build or pull large Docker images. It can prevent the performance issues caused by pulling large Docker images down from the network. </p> <note> <ul> <li> <p>You can use a Docker layer cache in the Linux environment only. </p> </li> <li> <p>The <code>privileged</code> flag must be set so that your project has the required Docker permissions. </p> </li> <li> <p>You should consider the security implications before you use a Docker layer cache. </p> </li> </ul> </note> </dd> <dt>LOCAL_CUSTOM_CACHE</dt> <dd> <p>Caches directories you specify in the buildspec file. This mode is a good choice if your build scenario is not suited to one of the other three local cache modes. If you use a custom cache: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Only directories can be specified for caching. You cannot specify individual files. </p> </li> <li> <p>Symlinks are used to reference cached directories. </p> </li> <li> <p>Cached directories are linked to your build before it downloads its project sources. Cached items are overridden if a source item has the same name. Directories are specified using cache paths in the buildspec file. </p> </li> </ul> </dd> </dl>"
