Docker incorporates Kubernetes into Enterprise Edition 2.0

Docker recently rolled out Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) 2.0, which enables customers to run
multi-container applications with either Kubernetes or Swarm. Docker EE emerged last year as a Container-as-a-Service platform that secures applications across disparate infrastructure, both on-premises and in the cloud. Its Swarm container orchestration system was intended to provide a user-friendly approach to container orchestration without the complexity associated with Kubernetes. Despite achieving relative success, however, Kubernetes was deemed the de facto standard of container orchestration in 2017. Consequently, Docker announced last October it was expanding its platform to incorporate Kubernetes, with availability slated for the first quarter of 2018.
