    13  ## Deploying applications to a local Docker daemon
    14  
    15  For simple container-based applications that don't rely on
    16  Kubernetes resource types, Skaffold can "deploy" these applications
    17  by running application containers directly in your local Docker daemon.
    18  This enables application developers who are not yet ready to make the jump
    19  to Kubernetes to take advantage of the streamlined development experience
    20  Skaffold provides.
    21  
    22  Additionally, deploying to Docker bypasses the overhead of pushing
    23  images to a remote registry, and provides a faster time to running
    24  application than traditional Kubernetes deployments.
    25  
    26  ### Configuration
    27  
    28  To deploy to your local Docker daemon, specify the `docker` deploy type
    29  in the `deploy` section of your `skaffold.yaml`.
    30  
    31  The `docker` deploy type offers the following options:
    32  
    33  {{< schema root="DockerDeploy" >}}
    34  
    35  ### Example
    36  
    37  The following `deploy` section instructs Skaffold to deploy
    38  the application image `my-image` to the local Docker daemon:
    39  
    40  {{% readfile file="samples/deployers/docker.yaml" %}}
    41  
    42  {{< alert title="Note" >}}
    43  Images listed to be deployed with the `docker` deployer **must also have a corresponding build artifact built by Skaffold.**
