Docker

Get started with Docker, the world’s leading software container platform to build, ship, and run any app anywhere. Docker is available as Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE), with optimized installers for a variety of infrastructure. The Docker platform and associated toolchain provides the following features as a baseline for both CE and EE.

  • UNIVERSAL PACKAGING

    UNIVERSAL PACKAGING

    Easily package apps written in any programming language or service into containers without the risk of incompatibilities or version conflicts. Isolated containers are then portable to any machine running Docker.

  • COMPLETE DEVELOPER TOOLKIT

    COMPLETE DEVELOPER TOOLKIT

    Everything you need to build, test and run multi-container apps from an interactive CLI with support for any programming language. Start from scratch or browse and download from thousands of ready to use containers in Docker Store.

  • BUILT-IN CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION

    BUILT-IN CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION

    Docker comes with clustering to run apps at scale and sophisticated scheduling and monitoring to build highly available and fault tolerant services

  • SECURE BY DEFAULT

    SECURE BY DEFAULT

    Docker is secure out-of-the-box with no additional setup required. Mutual TLS, certificate rotation, image signing and container isolation makes for bullet-proof and easy-to-use container app runtimes.

  • APP CENTRIC NETWORKING

    APP CENTRIC NETWORKING

    Software defined networking connects containers together, intelligently routes and load balances traffic. Configure and deploy apps on container defined networks abstracted from underlying network infrastructure.

  • EXTENSIBLE ARCHITECTURE

    EXTENSIBLE ARCHITECTURE

    Open APIs, plugins and drivers make it easy to integrate with 3rd party systems and to change storage and networking backends with little to no code changes.
