Mirantis Container Runtime (formerly Docker Engine – Enterprise) is an industry-leading enterprise container runtime based on container (formerly Docker Engine). It is DISA STIG certified for use by government, military, and regulated industries. It features certified FIPS-140-2 encryption within the runtime, eliminating dependence on the underlying operating system. Mirantis Container Runtime provides Content Trust: a cryptographic technology that can be used to prevent execution of container images that lack appropriate signing.

Nodes provisioned with Mirantis Container Runtime can be used to run container workloads directly (i.e., without orchestration), or clustered simply with built-in Swarm.

Organizations seeking more sophisticated and manageable orchestration (Kubernetes and/or Swarm) can implement Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise/UCP), which runs on Nodes provisioned with Mirantis Container Runtime (manager Nodes use MCR for Linux, worker Nodes can run on Linux or Windows Server). A small, proof-of-concept MKE implementation can be deployed on as few as two Nodes, though Mirantis recommends a minimum of three manager and two worker Nodes (five Nodes total) to provide realistic capacity and support zero-downtime updates.

Mirantis Container Cloud, which runs on Container Cloud Instances provisioned with Mirantis Container Runtime, provides a complete solution for delivering multiple Kubernetes clusters across any infrastructure, including bare metal, private, and public clouds, with full observability, built-in lifecycle management, and zero-downtime updates. A proof-of-concept deployment of Mirantis Container Cloud can be deployed on as few as three Container Cloud Instances s, plus additional Container Cloud Instances s for the MKE clusters MCC deploys and manages (five Nodes per MKE cluster).
