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.

Control Plane
Control Plane is a cloud virtualization platform that enables devops teams to compose any combination of cloud infrastructure (bare metal, VMs, k8s, AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI) into one or more AI-native virtual clouds. Applications run at 99.999% availability, backed by an SLA, without added infrastructure complexity. Organizations use it to cut infrastructure costs by 30–50%, eliminate vendor lock-in, and securely deploy workloads, VMs, and AI agents across single-cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments from a single AI-enabled interface.
