DPDK Docker

Build images that contain built DPDK library for individual Ubuntu versions. An image will be tagged as:

<DPDK version>-<Ubuntu version>

For example, the image for DPDK v23.11.3 that is built on Ubuntu Jammy will be tagged as 23.11.3-jammy.

Some pre-built images are available on Docker Hub.
