Docker Cloud provides a hosted [registry service](builds/repos.md) with
|
|
[build](builds/automated-build.md) and [testing](builds/automated-testing.md)
|
|
facilities for Dockerized application images; tools to help you set up and
|
|
[manage host infrastructure](infrastructure/); and [application lifecycle features](apps/) to automate deploying (and redeploying) services created from
|
|
images.
|
|
|
|
Log in to Docker Cloud using your free [Docker ID](../docker-id/).

## About Docker Cloud
|
|
|
|
### Images, Builds, and Testing
|
|
|
|
Docker Cloud uses the hosted Docker Cloud Registry, which allows you to publish
|
|
Dockerized images on the internet either publicly or privately. Docker Cloud can
|
|
also store pre-built images, or link to your source code so it can build the
|
|
code into Docker images, and optionally test the resulting images before pushing
|
|
them to a repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Swarm Management (Beta Swarm Mode)
|
|
|
|
With [Beta Swarm Mode](/docker-cloud/cloud-swarm/index.md), you can create new
|
|
swarms from within Docker Cloud, register existing swarms to Docker Cloud, or
|
|
provision swarms to your cloud providers. Your Docker ID authenticates and
|
|
securely accesses personal or team swarms. Docker Cloud allows you to connect
|
|
your local Docker Engine to any swarm you have access to in Docker Cloud.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Infrastructure management (Standard Mode)
|
|
|
|
Before you can do anything with your images, you need somewhere to run them.
|
|
Docker Cloud allows you to link to your infrastructure or cloud services
|
|
provider so you can provision new nodes automatically. Once you have nodes set
|
|
up, you can deploy images directly from Docker Cloud repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Services, Stacks, and Applications (Standard Mode)
|
|
|
|
Images are just one layer in containerized applications. Once you've built an
|
|
image, you can use it to deploy services (which are composed of one or more
|
|
containers created from an image), or use Docker Cloud's
|
|
[stackfiles](apps/stacks.md) to combine it with other services and
|
|
microservices, to form a full application.
