  2. Persist the choice across all contexts: docker buildx use --global <builder-name>
  3. Set a builder as the default of the current context: docker buildx use --default <builder-name>
  4. Or pass a context name to switch to that context's default builder
  5. Confirm the switch with docker buildx ls (the * moves to the new builder)
