Docker is Updating and Extending Our Product Subscriptions

Docker is used by millions of developers to build, share, and run any app, anywhere, and 55% of professional developers use Docker every day at work. Finally, the rapid global growth in developers – to an estimated 45 million by 2030 – pushes us to scale sustainably so we may continue to provide an innovative, free Docker experience that developers love.

With its focus on open source communities, individual developers, education, and small businesses – which together account for more than half of Docker users – Docker Personal is free for these communities and continues to allow free use of all its components – including Docker CLI, Docker Compose, Docker Build/BuildKit, Docker Engine, Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Official Images, and more.

With Docker Desktop managing all the complexities of integrating, configuring, and maintaining Docker Engine and Kubernetes in Windows and Mac desktop environments – filesystems, VMs, networking, and more – developers can spend more of their time building apps, less on fussing with infrastructure.

These last 12 months have seen a whirlwind of releases, from image scanning in the Docker CLI to Docker Desktop on Apple Silicon, Audit Logs in Docker Hub, GPU support in Docker Desktop, BuildKit Dockerfile mounts, new Docker Verified Publisher images, and more.
