According to the Docker team, Docker Desktop has more than a million users, but while this is an excellent choice for individual use, it lacks certain critical aspects for enterprise use.
Docker Desktop Enterprise is here to fill the gap.
Docker just announced at DockerCon 2018 the release of their new platform that aspires to be the easiest, fastest and most secure way to create and deliver production-ready containerized applications.

Key features for IT
Enterprise deployment & configuration packaging – enables IT desktop admins to deploy and manage Docker Desktop Enterprise across distributed developer teams with their preferred endpoint management tools using standard MSI and PKG files. No manual intervention or extra configuration from developers is required and desktop administrators can enable or disable particular settings within Docker Desktop Enterprise.
Application templates – Application architects can provide developers with trusted, customized application templates through the Application Designer interface in Docker Desktop Enterprise, helping to improve reliability and security by ensuring developers start from approved designs.
Key features for developers
Configurable version packs – Docker Desktop has Docker Engine and Kubernetes built-in and with the addition of swappable version packs, you can now synchronize your desktop development environment with the same Docker API and Kubernetes versions that are used in production with Docker Enterprise.
Application designer – A new workflow that provides production-ready application and service templates that let you get coding quickly, with the reassurance that your application meets architectural standards. And even if you’ve never launched a container before, the Application Designer interface provides the foundational container artifacts. What’s more, Docker Desktop Enterprise integrates with your choice of development tools, whether you prefer an IDE or a text editor and command line interfaces.
