# UCP architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP) helps you manage your container cluster
|
||||
from a single place.
|
||||
|
||||
UCP is a containerized application, so the first step to install UCP is
|
||||
installing the Commercially Supported (CS) Docker Engine on all the nodes that
|
||||
are going to be part of the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
After CS Docker Engine is installed, you can install UCP, and join as many
|
||||
nodes you want to the cluster.

## UCP controller node
|

A UCP cluster has two types of nodes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Controller: manages the cluster and persists the cluster configurations.
|
||||
* Node: run your containers.

When you make a change to the configuration of one controller node, that

configuration is replicated to the other controllers.

* For high-availability, you should set up 3, 5, or 7 controller nodes.
