There are two primary ways to incorporate [Docker ](https://www.docker.com ) into your CI/CD workflow:

- **[Run your CI/CD jobs](using_docker_images.md) in Docker containers.**

You can create CI/CD jobs to do things like test, build, or publish
an application. These jobs can run in Docker containers.
For example, you can tell GitLab CI/CD to use a Node image that's hosted on Docker Hub
or in the GitLab Container Registry. Your job then runs in a container that's based on the image.
The container has all the Node dependencies you need to build your app.
- **Use [Docker ](using_docker_build.md ) or [kaniko ](using_kaniko.md ) to build Docker images.**
You can create CI/CD jobs to build Docker images and publish
them to a container registry.
