Marketplace extensions
There are two types of extensions available in the Extensions Marketplace:
- Docker-reviewed extensions
- Self-published extensions
Docker-reviewed extensions are manually reviewed by the Docker Extensions team to ensure an extra level of trust and quality. They appear as Reviewed in the Marketplace.
Self-published extensions are autonomously published by extension developers. They appear as Not reviewed in the Marketplace.
