Docker Enterprise Edition (*Docker EE*) is designed for enterprise
|
||
development and IT teams who build, ship, and run business-critical
|
||
applications in production and at scale. Docker EE is integrated, certified,
|
||
and supported to provide enterprises with the most secure container platform
|
||
in the industry. For more info about Docker EE, including purchasing
|
||
options, see [Docker Enterprise Edition](https://www.docker.com/enterprise-edition/).
|
||
|
||
There are currently two versions of Docker EE Engine available:
|
||
|
||
* 18.03 - Use this version if you're only running Docker EE Engine.
|
||
* 17.06 - Use this version if you're using Docker Enterprise Edition 2.0 (Docker
|
||
Engine, UCP, and DTR).

### Enterprise Edition Basic
|
||
|
||
With Docker EE Basic, you can deploy Docker Enterprise Engine
|
||
to manage your container workloads in a flexible way. You can manage workloads
|
||
on Windows, Linux, on-premise or on the cloud.
|
||
|
||
Docker EE Basic has enterprise class support with defined SLAs, extended
|
||
maintenance cycles for patches for up to 24 months.
|
||
|
||
[Learn more about the supported platforms](#supported-platforms).
|
||
|
||
### Enterprise Edition Standard and Advanced
|
||
|
||
Docker EE Standard has everything the Basic edition has, and extends it with
|
||
private image management, integrated image signing policies, and cluster
|
||
management with support for Kubernetes and Swarm orchestrators.
|
||
|
||
Docker EE Advanced takes this one step further and allows you to implement
|
||
node-based RBAC policies, image promotion policies, image mirroring, and
|
||
scan your images for vulnerabilities.

## Supported platforms
|
||
|
||
The following table shows all of the platforms that are available for Docker EE.
|
||
Each link in the first column takes you to the installation
|
||
instructions for the corresponding platform. Docker EE is an integrated,
|
||
supported, and certified container platform for the listed cloud providers and
|
||
operating systems.
|

### Docker Certified Infrastructure
|
||
|
||
Docker Certified Infrastructure is Docker’s prescriptive approach to deploying
|
||
Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) on a range of infrastructure choices. Each Docker
|
||
Certified Infrastructure includes a reference architecture, automation templates,
|
||
and third-party ecosystem solution briefs.
|
||
|
||
| Platform | Docker Enterprise Edition |

|
||
## Docker Enterprise Edition release cycles
|
||
|
||
Each Docker EE release is supported and maintained for 24 months, and
|
||
receives security and critical bug fixes during this period.
|
||
|
||
The Docker API version is independent of the Docker platform version. We maintain
|
||
careful API backward compatibility and deprecate APIs and features slowly and
|
||
conservatively. We remove features after deprecating them for a period of
|
||
three stable releases. Docker 1.13 introduced improved interoperability
|
||
between clients and servers using different API versions, including dynamic
|
||
feature negotiation.
|
||
|
||
## Upgrades and support
|
||
|
||
If you're a Docker DDC or CS Engine customer, you don't need to upgrade to
|
||
Docker EE to continue to get support. We will continue to support customers
|
||
with valid subscriptions whether the subscription covers Docker EE or
|
||
Commercially Supported Docker. You can choose to stay with your current
|
||
deployed version, or you can upgrade to the latest Docker EE version. For
|
||
more info, see [Scope of Coverage and Maintenance
|
||
Lifecycle](https://success.docker.com/Policies/Scope_of_Support).
