Mirantis Kubernetes Engine
The enterprise Kubernetes platform for deploying containers at scale.
Overview
Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE), formerly Docker Enterprise Edition (UCP), is an industry-leading container orchestration platform for developing and running modern applications at scale, on private clouds, public clouds, and on bare metal. It is unique in its ability to run both Kubernetes and Swarm orchestrators on the same cluster.
✨ Key Features
- Dual orchestration with Kubernetes and Docker Swarm
- Centralized cluster management UI
- Integrated Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with LDAP/AD integration
- FIPS 140-2 validated encryption
- Mirantis Secure Registry integration
- Support for both Linux and Windows nodes
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Unified support for both Kubernetes and Docker Swarm orchestrators.
- Strong security focus with FIPS 140-2 validation.
- Direct lineage from Docker Enterprise, offering a migration path for existing customers.
Unique Value: Offers a secure, enterprise-grade platform that provides flexibility and choice by supporting both Kubernetes and Swarm, enabling a smooth transition for modernizing applications.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Running containerized applications in high-security and regulated environments
- Migrating legacy Docker Swarm workloads to a modern, supported platform
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Small teams or startups that do not need enterprise features
- Organizations that only use Kubernetes and prefer a cloud-native managed service
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike platforms that are Kubernetes-only, MKE provides a unique value for organizations that still rely on Docker Swarm. It offers a more batteries-included, security-hardened solution compared to assembling an open-source platform with Rancher.
