    10  When Skaffold renders your application to Kubernetes, it goes through the following process:
    11  
    12  * the Skaffold renderer _renders_ the final Kubernetes manifests: Skaffold replaces untagged image names in the Kubernetes manifests with the final tagged image names.
    13  It also might go through the extra intermediate step of expanding templates (for helm) or calculating overlays (for kustomize).
    14  
    15  ### Supported renderers
    16  
    17  Skaffold supports the following tools for rendering applications:
    18  
    19  * [`rawYaml`]({{< relref "./rawYaml.md" >}}) - use this if you don't currently use a rendering tool
    20  * [`helm`]({{< relref "./helm.md" >}})
    21  * [`kpt`]({{< relref "./kpt.md" >}})
    22  * [`kustomize`]({{< relref "./kustomize.md" >}})
    23  
    24  Skaffold's render configuration is set through the `manifests` section
    25  of the `skaffold.yaml`. See each renderer's page for more information
    26  on how to configure them for use in Skaffold. It's also possible to use
    27  a combination of multiple renderers in a single project.
    28
