| 21 | +This table shows all of the platforms that are available for Docker EE. |
| 22 | +Each link in the first column takes you to the installation |
| 23 | +instructions for the corresponding platform. Docker EE is an integrated, |
| 24 | +supported, and certified container platform for the listed cloud providers and |
| 25 | +operating systems. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Docker EE feature tiers |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Docker EE is available in three tiers: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- **Basic:** The Docker platform for certified infrastructure, with support |
| 32 | + from Docker Inc. and certified containers and plugins from Docker Store. |
| 33 | +- **Standard:** Adds advanced image and container management, LDAP/AD user |
| 34 | + integration, and role-based access control. Together, these features |
| 35 | + comprise Docker Enterprise Edition. |
| 36 | +- **Advanced:** Adds |
| 37 | + [Docker Security Scanning](https://blog.docker.com/2016/05/docker-security-scanning/) |
| 38 | + and continuous vulnerability monitoring. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Docker Enterprise Edition release cycles |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Docker EE is released quarterly. Releases use a time-based versioning |
| 43 | +scheme, so for example, Docker EE version 17.03 was released |
| 44 | +in March 2017. For schedule details, see |
| 45 | +[Time-based release schedule](/engine/installation/#time-based-release-schedule). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Each Docker EE release is supported and maintained for one year and |
| 48 | +receives security and critical bug fixes during this period. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +The Docker API version is independent of the Docker platform version. The API |
| 51 | +version doesn't change from Docker 1.13.1 to Docker 17.03. We maintain |
| 52 | +careful API backward compatibility and deprecate APIs and features slowly and |
| 53 | +conservatively. We remove features after deprecating them for a period of |
| 54 | +three stable releases. Docker 1.13 introduced improved interoperability |
| 55 | +between clients and servers using different API versions, including dynamic |
| 56 | +feature negotiation. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +## Upgrades and support |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +If you're a Docker DDC or CS Engine customer, you don't need to upgrade to |
| 61 | +Docker EE to continue to get support. We will continue to support customers |
| 62 | +with valid subscriptions whether the subscription covers Docker EE or |
| 63 | +Commercially Supported Docker. You can choose to stay with your current |
| 64 | +deployed version, or you can upgrade to the latest Docker EE version. For |
| 65 | +more info, see [Scope of Coverage and Maintenance |
| 66 | +Lifecycle](https://success.docker.com/Policies/Scope_of_Support). |
