+## Variants
+
+The Docker template can be used in conjunction with template variants to cover specific cases.
+
+### Vault variant
+
+This variant allows delegating your secrets management to a [Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/) server.
+
+#### Configuration
+
+In order to be able to communicate with the Vault server, the variant requires the additional configuration parameters:
+
+| Name              | description                            | default value     |
+| ----------------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
+| `VAULT_BASE_URL`  | The Vault server base API url          | _none_ |
+| :lock: `VAULT_ROLE_ID`   | The [AppRole](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle) RoleID | **must be defined** |
+| :lock: `VAULT_SECRET_ID` | The [AppRole](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle) SecretID | **must be defined** |
+
+#### Usage
+
+Then you may retrieve any of your secret(s) from Vault using the following syntax:
+
+```text
+@url@http://vault-secrets-provider/api/secrets/{secret_path}?field={field}
+```
+
+With:
+
+| Name                             | description                            |
+| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| `secret_path` (_path parameter_) | this is your secret location in the Vault server |
+| `field` (_query parameter_)      | parameter to access a single basic field from the secret JSON payload |
+
+#### Example
+
+```yaml
+include:
+  # main template
+  - project: 'to-be-continuous/docker'
+    ref: '2.2.0'
+    file: '/templates/gitlab-ci-docker.yml'
+  # Vault variant
+  - project: 'to-be-continuous/docker'
+    ref: '2.2.0'
+    file: '/templates/gitlab-ci-docker-vault.yml'
+
+variables:
+    # Secrets managed by Vault
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_SNAPSHOT_USER: "@url@http://vault-secrets-provider/api/secrets/b7ecb6ebabc231/artifactory/snapshot/credentials?field=user"
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_SNAPSHOT_PASSWORD: "@url@http://vault-secrets-provider/api/secrets/b7ecb6ebabc231/artifactory/snapshot/credentials?field=token"
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_RELEASE_USER: "@url@http://vault-secrets-provider/api/secrets/b7ecb6ebabc231/artifactory/release/credentials?field=user"
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_RELEASE_PASSWORD: "@url@http://vault-secrets-provider/api/secrets/b7ecb6ebabc231/artifactory/release/credentials?field=token"
+    VAULT_BASE_URL: "https://vault.acme.host/v1"
+    # $VAULT_ROLE_ID and $VAULT_SECRET_ID defined as a secret CI/CD variable
+```
+
