Mirantis Container Runtime

Secure, industry-standard container runtime—Docker interface included.

Enterprises shouldn’t have to worry about container runtime security. That’s why we provide the same workhorse container runtime software at the heart of our ZeroOps stack on a standalone basis.

Mirantis Container Runtime (formerly Docker Engine - Enterprise) provides the keystone of a secure software supply chain for organizations that need an enterprise-grade container engine and container runtime interface to build and run mission-critical containerized workloads.

Enterprise container engine

Mirantis Container Runtime brings the power of the open source Moby project to enterprises with 24x7 or 8x5 support and the features that modern enterprises require:

World-class security: Government, finance, and other mission-critical industries rely on Mirantis Container Runtime’s FIPS 140-2 validated security, as well as regular updates to mitigate against emerging CVEs in open source components.

Simple, powerful, and standards-aligned: Whether you’re using Mirantis Container Runtime on its own or to power Kubernetes or Swarm, developers can depend on the familiar Docker API—all with a runtime that is OCI-certified and CRI-conformant via the cri-dockerd adapter.

Tested at scale: Mirantis Container Runtime powers business critical applications at the world’s leading companies, enabling teams to deploy and scale containerized apps from the data center to the edge.

How it works

The container runtime is the beating heart of a cloud native stack, and the crux of a secure software supply chain—the component that actually builds and runs containers.

Mirantis Container Runtime builds on the best of the open source ecosystem, bringing mission critical security and enterprise-grade support. With Mirantis Container Runtime, developers enjoy the power of the simple and familiar Docker API, whether you’re using Kubernetes, Swarm, or standalone containers.
