Build Kubernetes-ready modern applications on your desktop

Docker Desktop and Desktop Enterprise are applications for MacOS and Windows machines for the building and sharing of containerized applications and microservices.

Desktop Enterprise delivers the speed, choice, and security developers need for designing and delivering these modern applications on your desktop. Desktop Enterprise includes Docker App, developer tools, Kubernetes, and version synchronization to production Docker Engines. Developers can rapidly innovate leveraging certified images and templates and using their choice of languages and tools. Development workflows leverage Docker Hub and Docker Trusted Registry to extend the developer’s environment to a secure repository for rapid auto-building, continuous integration, and secure collaboration. With Desktop Enterprise administrators also have a secure way to centrally manage desktop environments and enforce security standards.

Containerize and share any application

From legacy to what comes next

One Development and Delivery Platform

Docker Desktop and Desktop Enterprise give developers a Docker and Kubernetes environment aligned with production clusters. Build and run the same applications everywhere with the only platform that can provide trusted and certified end-to-edge security.

Any app, Any language

Developers have the freedom to innovate with their choice of tools, application stacks, and deployment environments for each project. Windows or Linux; legacy or cloud-native; IDE or text editor—Docker Desktop and Desktop Enterprise puts you in control.

Developer Speed

Developers shouldn’t need a PhD in Docker or Kubernetes to do their job. Docker makes it easy to get up and running in minutes and rapidly code, test, and collaborate while ensuring consistency between development and production.
