-You can specify which backends are build using the `BUILD_TAGS` variable.
-The available backends are:
-* `aci`: For ACI support (always built)
-* `ecs`: For ECS support (always built)
-* `example`: Testing backend (off by default)
-* `local`: Beginnings of a [moby](https://github.com/moby/moby) backend
