Docker Offload: Supercharging Cloud-Native Development | Docker

Secure, minimal container images for every team, free with enterprise features, if needed.
Each Cloud Sandbox is a cloud VM that has its own Docker Engine.
Use the Docker commands that you know to manage your workloads remotely.
Docker sets up and manages the cloud environment for you.
Move your local Docker workloads into a Cloud Sandbox, without changing how you work
Put apps with many services and heavy builds on cloud compute instead of on your machine, and keep working while they run
Stop the sandbox when you’re done and pick it up later. You’re billed for the time the sandbox is active
Buy Docker’s Agentic Platform offering to access Offload and set up your billing information
Update Docker Desktop to 4.97
Use docker –cloud to run your existing Docker workloads in a Cloud Sandbox
Docker Offload lets you run your existing Docker apps in the cloud using the Docker tools and commands you already know. Your workloads run in a Cloud Sandbox instead of on your local machine, giving you access to cloud compute without managing the underlying infrastructure.
Get access to Docker Offload through the DAP purchase flow. Once you have access, use docker --cloud to run your workloads in the cloud.
Run your existing Docker apps and builds, including multi-container applications, Compose stacks, databases, and resource-intensive builds, in a Cloud Sandbox.
No Docker Offload runs your apps and builds on Docker-managed cloud infrastructure. You don’t need to provision cloud VMs, configure Kubernetes, or manage the underlying infrastructure.
Docker Offload sessions can be configured to run for up to 24 hours. You can stop your Cloud Sandbox when you’re finished, and billing stops when the sandbox is no longer running.
Docker Sandboxes provide isolated microVM environments where AI coding agents can safely execute code and perform development tasks.
A Cloud Sandbox is a cloud-hosted environment where Docker Offload runs your existing Docker workloads.
Get access to Docker Offload through the DAP purchase flow. Once you have access, use docker --cloud to run your workloads in the cloud.
Yes. Docker Desktop is required to use Docker Offload. Make sure you’re running the latest version of Docker Desktop.
