|
|
|
Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP) is the enterprise-grade cluster management
|
|
solution from Docker. You install it behind your firewall, and it helps you
|
|
manage your whole cluster from a single place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Centralized cluster management
|
|
|
|
Docker UCP can be installed on-premises, or on a virtual private cloud.
|
|
And with it, you can manage thousands of nodes as if they were a single one.
|
|
You can monitor and manage your cluster using a graphical UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since UCP exposes the standard Docker API, you can continue using the tools
|
|
you already know, to manage a whole cluster.
|
|
|
|
As an example, you can use the `docker info` command to check the
|
|
status of the cluster:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker info
|
|
|
|
Containers: 30
|
|

|

|
└ Status: Healthy
|
|
└ Containers: 20
|
|
ucp-replica: 192.168.99.102:12376
|
|
└ Status: Healthy
|
|
└ Containers: 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploy, manage, and monitor
|
|
|
|
With Docker UCP you can manage the nodes of your infrastructure. You can also
|
|
manage apps, containers, networks, images, and volumes, in a transparent way.
|
|
|
|
## Built-in security and access control
|
|
|
|
Docker UCP has its own built-in authentication mechanism, and supports LDAP
|
|
and Active Directory. It also supports Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
|
|
This ensures that only authorized users can access and make changes to cluster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docker UCP also integrates with Docker Trusted Registry and Docker Content
|
|
Trust. This allows you to keep your images stored behind your firewall,
|
|
where they are safe. It also allows you to sign those images to ensure that
|
|
the images you deploy have not been altered in any way.
