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/).

## 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
|
||
|
||
Docker EE is released quarterly. Releases use a time-based versioning
|
||
scheme, so for example, Docker EE version 17.03 was released
|
||
in March 2017. For schedule details, see
|
||
[Time-based release schedule](/engine/installation/#time-based-release-schedule).
|
||
|
||
Each Docker EE release is supported and maintained for one year and
|
||
receives security and critical bug fixes during this period.
|
||
|
||
The Docker API version is independent of the Docker platform version. The API
|
||
version doesn't change from Docker 1.13.1 to Docker 17.03. 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).
