Docker Enterprise
Enterprise-ready container orchestration. Deployed anywhere by
Docker Enterprise Container Cloud.
Docker Enterprise 3.1 Overview Video
Your Cloud, Everywhere.
Docker Enterprise is the industry-leading platform for simplifying IT operations and running modern applications at scale, anywhere. On private clouds, public clouds, or bare metal. It’s a mature architecture for providing customizable, hardened, resilient, and manageable Kubernetes and/or Swarm container orchestration, where and when you need it.
Choice, Simplicity, Security
Docker Enterprise clusters can be deployed or configured on-the-fly to provide one or both of the leading flavors of container orchestration:
Fully-certified, secure-by-default Kubernetes with industry-leading Istio ingress and Calico networking — the leading platform for enterprise application modernization and accelerated greenfield microservice application development
Secure-by-default Docker Swarm orchestration, for simplified operations and rapid iteration with Docker Desktop tools

Run anywhere
Docker Enterprise can run almost anywhere: on virtual machines, bare metal, or on any public cloud, and on a range of Linux and Windows operating systems.
Run securely
Built around Docker Engine – Enterprise, the enterprise version of the Docker Engine container runtime, Docker Enterprise is secure-by-default: equipped with industry-leading FIPS-140-2 encryption, and built-in Docker Content Trust, to prevent execution of improperly-signed or unsigned container workloads.
Run Windows-native Docker container workloads
Docker Enterprise worker nodes can be deployed on Windows Server 2019 with Docker Engine – Enterprise for Windows. Easily tag and configure workloads for execution on appropriate node types, and run any mix of Windows and Linux worker nodes within the same Docker Enterprise environments.
Specialized hardware support
Docker Engine – Enterprise can easily be configured to make use of specialized hardware in bare metal and virtual environments, including FPGAs and GPUs, making them ideal for research, scientific computing, and machine learning.
Ready for work – batteries included
Docker Enterprise clusters are architected with best-of-breed, out of the box defaults for Kubernetes ingress and container networking (Istio and Calico), so they’re ready for work. But because they’re based on open source standards, they’re also readily customizable and extensible.
Deploy Docker Enterprise
Two Ways
Docker Enterprise clusters can be deployed or configured on-the-fly to provide one or both of the leading flavors of container orchestration:
Deploy on demand Docker Enterprise clusters from Docker Enterprise Container Cloud using simple wizards, for a seamless multi-cloud experience on any infrastructure, easily integrated with enterprise IAM, IT self-service, and other tools. Then observe, update/upgrade, scale, and manage your Docker Enterprise clusters — including underlying infrastructure — from a single pane of glass. It’s your cloud, everywhere.
