This is useful for building multi-platform images on native nodes for more complicated cases that aren't handled by QEMU. Building on native nodes generally has better performance, and allows you to distribute the build across multiple machines.\n\nYou can append nodes to the builder you're creating using the append option. It takes input in the form of a YAML string document to remove limitations intrinsically linked to GitHub Actions: you can only use strings in the input fields\n\nHere is an example using remote nodes with the remote driver and TLS authentication\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\nname: ci\n\non:\n  push:\n\njobs:\n  buildx:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    steps:\n      - name: Set up Docker Buildx\n        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@{{% param \"setup_buildx_action_version\" %}}\n        with:\n          driver: remote\n          endpoint: tcp://oneprovider:1234\n          append: |\n            - endpoint: tcp://graviton2:1234\n              platforms: linux/arm64\n            - endpoint: tcp://linuxone:1234\n              platforms: linux/s390x\n        env:\n          BUILDER_NODE_0_AUTH_TLS_CACERT: ${{ secrets.ONEPROVIDER_CA }}\n          BUILDER_NODE_0_AUTH_TLS_CERT: ${{ secrets.ONEPROVIDER_CERT }}\n          BUILDER_NODE_0_AUTH_TLS_KEY: ${{ secrets.ONEPROVIDER_KEY }}\n          BUILDER_NODE_1_AUTH_TLS_CACERT: ${{ secrets.GRAVITON2_CA }}\n          BUILDER_NODE_1_AUTH_TLS_CERT: ${{ secrets.GRAVITON2_CERT }}\n          BUILDER_NODE_1_AUTH_TLS_KEY: ${{ secrets.GRAVITON2_KEY }}\n```\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
