Overview
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. The latest version of Docker EE is 17.06.

What You Will Learn
This reference architecture describes a standard, production-grade, Docker EE deployment. It also details the components of Docker EE, how they work, how to automate deployments, how to manage users and teams, how to provide high availability for the platform, and how to manage the infrastructure.

Some environment-specific configuration details are not be provided. For instance, load balancers vary greatly between cloud platforms and on-premises infrastructure platform. For these types of components, general guidelines to environment-specific resources are provided.

Prerequisite
Students should attend ONLC's Docker Fundamentals class or have equivalent skills.
