Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)

Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE) is the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform, designed to provide organizations with total control over their strategic infrastructure. Powering some of the world’s largest production clusters, MKE 4 introduces a 100% open-source, "composable" architecture based on k0s. This shift allows platform engineers to precisely tailor their stack by swapping in validated CNCF ecosystem components for networking, ingress, and storage, avoiding the "black box" limitations of proprietary distributions.
