### Docker Enterprise

Designed for enterprise development and IT teams who build, ship, and run
business critical applications in production at scale. Integrated, certified,
and supported to provide enterprises with the most secure container platform in
the industry to modernize all applications. Docker Enterprise comes with enterprise
[add-ons](#docker-ee-add-ons) like Universal Control Plane (UCP) for managing and 
orchestrating the container runtime, and Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) for storing and 
securing images in an enterprise grade registry.
