MIRANTIS CONTAINER RUNTIME
Secure, industry-standard container runtime—Docker interface included. ![]()
If your teams are already building and managing applications with Docker, you can promote those workloads to production without needing to retool or migrate. Mirantis Container Runtime (formerly Docker Engine - Enterprise) is fully compatible with Docker-based workflows and toolchains, providing a seamless path from development to production.
MCR, built on CNCF Docker Moby, is purpose-built for running containers reliably at scale in production. It offers tested and validated releases across a broad set of operating systems, with robust CVE patching and bug fixes to ensure workload stability. MCR also enables hybrid and distributed cloud strategies by supporting the broadest range of platforms in the industry while meeting strict compliance standards.


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:
Docker compatible: Developers can continue using the same CLI, Dockerfiles, and APIs they already know, while IT can seamlessly promote those workloads into production with the assurance of an Enterprise Support agreement with guaranteed SLAs.
World-class security: Government, finance, and other regulated industries rely on Mirantis Container Runtime’s FIPS 140-2 validated encryption, as well as regular updates to mitigate against emerging CVEs in open source components. MCR also includes application-level and mandatory access control, , image signature verification, and support for sandboxed and isolated container runtimes.
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.


Secure by default
Safeguard system resources with restricted host access and AppArmor and SELinux access controls. Protect data and communications with end-to-end encryption, secure mutual TLS and cryptographic node identity. Isolate workloads with Kata and gVisor runtimes.
Enforce signed images
Mirantis Container Runtime lets you validate container provenance by requiring proper digital signing of images before they can be deployed. Users are prevented from using container images or composing containers using base layers from unknown sources.
Validated security
Mirantis Container Runtime’s cryptographic module is validated by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), fulfilling key requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
Flexibility to meet your needs
Run workloads on Linux, Windows, Ubuntu, or CentOS. Orchestrate nodes in Kubernetes, Swarm, or ‘mixed’ configurations for consistent operations across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments. Compatible with any CNCF-validated Kubernetes distribution.
