-kaniko can cache layers created by `RUN` (and `COPY`, configured by the
-`--cache-copy-layers` flag) commands in a remote repository. Before executing a
-command, kaniko checks the cache for the layer. If it exists, kaniko will pull

 Note that kaniko cannot read layers from the cache after a cache miss: once a
 layer has not been found in the cache, all subsequent layers are built locally
 without consulting the cache.
