What are Docker Extensions?

Docker Extensions let you use third-party tools within Docker Desktop to extend its functionality.

You can seamlessly connect your favorite development tools to your application development and deployment workflows. Augment Docker Desktop with debugging, testing, security, and networking functionalities, and create custom add-ons using the Extensions SDK.

Anyone can use Docker Extensions and there is no limit to the number of extensions you can install.

What extensions are available?

There is a mix of partner and community-built extensions and Docker-built extensions. You can explore the list of available extensions in Docker Hub or in the Extensions Marketplace within Docker Desktop.
