To launch an app on Aptible Deploy, you need to provide a Docker image that Aptible Deploy will use to start your App Containers.

There are currently two approaches to provide Aptible Deploy with a Docker image for your App:

• Dockerfile Deploy: Push source code (including a Dockerfile), and let Aptible Deploy build your app image.
• Direct Docker Image Deploy: Build the image yourself (e.g. in a CI environment), push it to a registry, and tell Aptible Deploy to fetch it from there.
