PALO ALTO, Calif. – December 17, 2025 –  Docker, Inc.®, a leading provider of cloud and AI-native application development tools, content, and services, today announced a fundamental reset of the container security market. The company is making its catalog of more than 1,000 Docker Hardened Images (DHI), built on the widely adopted open source distributions Debian and Alpine, free and fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license. By open sourcing DHI, Docker allows everyone: developers, maintainers, hobbyists, teams, governments, and organizations to use, share, and build on DHI with clear rights and no hidden restrictions. Businesses that need customizations, regulated-industry compliance, or faster patching than upstream offers can purchase DHI Enterprise, with DHI Extended Lifecycle Support available for coverage after upstream support ends. To make adoption even easier, Docker’s AI assistant can now scan existing containers and recommend and apply equivalent hardened images. Docker is also extending its hardening methodology to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, bringing the same security rigor to the AI agent infrastructure that developers are rapidly adopting.

Since launching DHI earlier this year, adoption has accelerated across the ecosystem, with major partners and enterprises including Adobe, Attentive, and Crypto.com already standardizing on hardened images organization-wide, preferring Docker’s approach to compatibility and transparency to alternatives.

“Security has to start at the earliest point in development, and needs to be universally available to every developer,” said Mark Cavage, President and Chief Operating Officer at Docker, Inc. “By making hardened images freely available and providing tooling that works with today’s AI coding agents, we’re giving the entire industry and community the best possible baseline to build on. This is a foundational shift that strengthens every part of the software supply chain and the Internet.”

Setting the Industry Standard

Containers are the universal path to production. Docker Hub handles more than 20 billion pulls each month, and Docker’s open source base images have powered the world’s software for over a decade. When so much of modern development depends on shared foundations, securing those layers is critical.

Supply chain attacks are projected to cost businesses $60 billion globally in 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. Docker is responding by making hardened images freely available. No subscription required, no usage restrictions, and no vendor lock-in. Built on Debian and Alpine, DHI works everywhere developers work, on any cloud, any orchestrator, any infrastructure.

Hardened Images for Every Developer

Docker Hardened Images reduce vulnerabilities by up-to 95 percent compared to traditional community images. They use a distroless runtime to minimize the attack surface while preserving the tools developers rely on. Every image includes:

• Complete SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)
• Transparent public CVE data
• SLSA Build Level 3 provenance
• Cryptographic proof of authenticity

Because DHI is built on Debian and Alpine, not proprietary distributions, anyone can adopt it with no lock in, and minimal changes to existing workflows. Starting today, every developer, startup, and enterprise has access to the same secure foundation.

Extending Security to AI Infrastructure

As AI agents become integral to development workflows, the infrastructure supporting them requires the same security rigor as traditional container workloads. MCP servers, which enable AI assistants to interact with external tools and data sources, have emerged as a new attack vector, with researchers documenting malicious servers, data exfiltration risks, and supply chain vulnerabilities in the emerging ecosystem.

Docker is extending its hardening methodology to MCP server images, launching today with hardened versions of more than ten popular servers including Grafana, MongoDB, GitHub, and Context7. Docker will harden the full MCP catalog in the weeks ahead, applying the same minimal footprint, CVE remediation, and provenance attestations that define DHI.

DHI Enterprise: Advanced Security and Compliance

For organizations with rigorous security and regulatory mandates, DHI Enterprise delivers:

• SLA-backed CVE remediation for critical vulnerabilities in under seven days, with a roadmap toward a 24-hour SLA
• FIPS-enabled and STIG-ready images
• Full customization including adding or changing runtime configuration, tools, certificates, and image contents, while maintaining trust and provenance

Extended Lifecycle Support: Protection Beyond End-of-Life

When upstream support ends, patches stop but vulnerabilities don’t. The company is introducing Docker Hardened Images Extended Lifecycle Support (DHI ELS), a paid add-on to DHI Enterprise that provides:

• Five additional years of security coverage beyond upstream end-of-life
• Continued CVE patches, SBOM updates, and provenance attestations
• Ongoing signing and auditability for compliance frameworks

“Every hardened image ships with strong provenance, reproducible builds, and clear attestations,” said Tushar Jain, Executive Vice President of Product & Engineering at Docker, Inc. “With DHI Enterprise and DHI ELS, we’re giving organizations the control and long-term protection they need to keep critical systems secure.”

Customers and Industry Embrace the New Security Baseline

Industry leaders across security, cloud, and open source are voicing strong support for free hardened images as a default. They recognize that free hardened images will raise the security baseline for the entire ecosystem and that the combination of verifiable provenance and predictable long-term support can simplify operations for developers and enterprises alike.

• “Docker’s move to make its hardened images freely available under Apache 2.0 underscores its strong commitment to the open source ecosystem. Many CNCF projects can already be found in the DHI catalog, and giving the broader community access to secure, well-maintained building blocks helps us strengthen the software supply chain together. It’s exciting to see Docker continue to invest in open collaboration and secure container infrastructure.”
  Jonathan Bryce, Executive Director, Cloud Native Computing Foundation
  
  
• “Software supply chain attacks are a severe industry problem. Making Docker Hardened Images free and pervasive should underpin faster, more secure software delivery across the industry by making the right thing the easy thing for developers.”
  James Governor, Analyst and Co-founder, RedMonk
  
  
• “Security shouldn’t be a premium feature. By making hardened images free, Docker is letting every developer, not just big enterprises, start with a safer foundation. We love seeing tools that reduce noise and toil, and we’re ready to run these secure workloads on Google Cloud from day one.”
  Ryan J. Salva, Senior Director of Product at Google, Developer Experiences
  
  
• “At MongoDB, we believe open source plays a central role in how modern software is built, enabling flexibility, choice, and developer productivity. That’s why we’re excited about free Docker Hardened Images for MongoDB.

With Docker Hub’s global reach and MongoDB’s commitment to reliability and safety, we are making it easier to build with confidence on a secure and open foundation for the future.” 
  Jim Scharf, Chief Technology Officer, MongoDB
  
  
• “We’re excited to partner with Docker to deliver secure, enterprise-grade AI workloads from development to production. With over 50 million users and the majority of Fortune 500 trusting Anaconda to help them operate at enterprise scale securely, this partnership with Docker brings that same foundation to Docker Hardened Images. This enables teams to spend less time managing risk and more time innovating, while reducing the time from idea to production.”
  David DeSanto, Chief Executive Officer, Anaconda
  
  
• “Socket stops malicious packages at install time, and Docker Hardened Images (DHI) give those packages a trustworthy place to run. With free DHI, teams get both layers of protection without lifting a finger. Pull a hardened image, run npm install, and the Socket firewall embedded in the DHI is already working for you. That is what true secure-by-default should look like, and we’re excited to partner with Docker and make it happen at their scale.”
  Feross Aboukhadijeh, Founder and CEO, Socket
  
  
• “Teams building with Temporal orchestrate mission-critical workflows, and Docker is how they deploy those services in production. Making Docker Hardened Images freely available gives our users a very strong foundation for those workflows from day one, and Extended Lifecycle Support helps them keep long running systems secure without constant replatforming.”
  Maxim Fateev, Chief Technology Officer, Temporal
  
  
• “At CircleCI, we know teams need to validate code as fast as they can generate it—and that starts with a trusted foundation. Docker Hardened Images eliminate a critical validation bottleneck by providing pre-secured, continuously verified components right from the start, helping teams ship fast, with confidence.”
  Rob Zuber, Chief Technology Officer, CircleCI

• “With Docker Hardened Images, You’re not having to pay a security team to do all the things required for securing a container image because it’s already being done for you. The images are trusted, the software verified for minimal CVEs.” 
  Cameron Griffin, Senior Cloud Security Engineer, GuidePoint Security
  
  
• “We evaluated multiple options for hardened base images and chose Docker Hardened Images (DHI) for its alignment with our supply chain security posture, developer tooling compatibility, Docker’s maturity in this space, and integration with our existing infrastructure. Our focus was on balancing trust, maintainability, and ecosystem compatibility.”
  Vikram Sethi, Principal Scientist, Adobe

BERLIN – 10 July 2025 – Docker, Inc.®, a provider of cloud-native and AI-native development tools, infrastructure, and services, today announced major new capabilities that make it dramatically easier for developers to build, run, and scale intelligent, agentic applications. By extending Docker Compose to support agents and AI models, introducing Docker Offload for cloud-scale execution, and collaborating with cloud providers like Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure and AI SDKs like CrewAI, Embabel, LangGraph, Sema4.ai, Spring AI, and Vercel AI SDK, Docker is delivering on its mission to simplify complex technology and empower developers.

“Agentic applications are rapidly evolving, but building production-grade agentic systems is still too hard,” said Tushar Jain, EVP of Engineering, Docker, Inc. “Just like Docker democratized microservices a decade ago, we’re now making agentic apps accessible to every developer by making agent-based development as easy, secure, and repeatable as container-based app development has always been. The next wave of software is powered by intelligent agents, and Docker makes it easy to turn that potential into real, running applications.”

These advancements are more than just new tools. They help solve one of the biggest challenges facing developers today, which is moving agentic applications from local prototypes to secure and scalable production environments.

Docker Compose Enters the Agent Era

For over a decade, Docker Compose has been the go-to tool used by millions of developers for defining and running multi-container applications. Now, Docker is extending Compose into the agent era, enabling developers to define intelligent agent architectures consisting of models and tools in the same simple YAML files they already use for microservices and take those agents to production.

With the new Compose capabilities, developers can:

• Define agents, models, and tools as services in a single Compose file
  
• Run agentic workloads locally or deploy seamlessly to cloud services like Google Cloud Run or Azure Container Apps
  
• Integrate with Docker’s open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway for secure tool discovery and communication
  
• Share, version, and deploy agentic stacks across environments without rewriting infrastructure code

This approach brings powerful agent orchestration into familiar workflows with no new languages or tools required.

“Making it just as straightforward for developers to take AI apps from prototype into production as it already is for regular code—that’s the next big thing in app development,” said Torsten Volk, Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Expanding Docker Compose to give developers the same familiar, simple experience for AI deployments as they have for traditional apps is exactly what we need. Plus, the new capability to run AI models directly in the cloud—without clogging up your laptop—is another major step forward. This should make a real difference in how quickly enterprises can start adopting AI at scale.”

Introducing Docker Offload: Cloud Power, Local Simplicity
As agentic applications demand more GPU power for complex AI tasks, local machines frequently fall short of the necessary capacity, which has become a significant pain point for developers. To solve this, Docker today unveiled Docker Offload (Beta), a new capability that enables developers to offload AI and GPU-intensive workloads to the cloud without disrupting their existing workflows.

With Docker Offload, developers can:

• Maintain local development speed while accessing cloud-scale compute and GPUs
  
• Run large models and multi-agent systems in high-performance cloud environments
  
• Choose where and when to offload workloads for privacy, cost, and performance optimization
  
• Keep data and workloads within specific regions to meet sovereignty requirements and ensure data does not leave designated zones across the globe.

Docker Offload integrates directly into Docker Desktop, preserving the familiar docker compose up experience while delivering cloud horsepower under the hood.

Built on a Thriving Ecosystem

Docker’s agentic capabilities are launching alongside new integrations with leading cloud and AI platforms. Key partnerships include:

• Google Cloud: Deploy agentic applications to production via  serverless environments with the new gcloud run compose up command
  
• Microsoft Azure: Seamless deployments via Azure Container Apps, arriving soon
  
• Popular agent frameworks: Compose integrations now support CrewAI, Embabel, Google’s ADK, LangGraph, Spring AI, and Vercel AI SDK, and more.

Steren Giannini, Director of Product Management, Google Cloud Run

“With Compose Spec support in Cloud Run, we’re making it dramatically simpler to move sophisticated AI apps from local development straight to production. This collaboration brings the best of both worlds: Docker’s local dev power combined with Cloud Run’s serverless scale and reliability, all with one simple command.”

Scott Hunter, Vice President Director of Product, Azure Developer Experience
“Microsoft has been collaborating with Docker for many years, and we’re pleased to see Docker extend the Compose Spec to support agent-based application development. We’re working together to make agentic app deployment seamless on Microsoft Azure Container Apps—helping developers easily build and scale AI applications and agents from local dev to the cloud. These integrations help ensure developers can easily adopt Docker’s agentic tooling alongside the frameworks they already use.”

Ram Venkatesh, CTO and Co-founder of Sema4.ai
“Agent-based systems represent a transformative leap in how software interacts with the world: autonomous, goal-driven, and contextual. Docker’s direction supporting agentic architectures is a major unlock for developers, making it radically easier to compose, scale, and iterate on multi-agent systems without compromising security or reinventing infrastructure. This is the kind of pragmatic innovation that accelerates agentic adoption for real-world use cases.”

Craig McLuckie, CEO and Founder of Stacklok and Co-Creator of Kubernetes  

“Enterprises that want to lift up their knowledge workers and create powerful new customer experiences need to connect the right data to AI models at the right times, and that requires use of MCP. Docker has a critical role to play in facilitating adoption of MCP through familiar constructs like containers and Docker Compose. By working together, in the open, we can bring simplicity and security to MCP that will unlock real enterprise adoption.”

PALO ALTO, Calif. – Jan. 23, 2024 – Docker, Inc.®, today announced Docker Build Cloud, a new product that directly addresses the pain point of how much time engineering teams spend waiting on builds to complete by accelerating Docker image builds up to 39x by offloading workloads to the cloud, regardless of whether developers build locally or through continuous integration (CI). Available now for existing Docker customers, the new offering is another example, along with recently announced investments in AI, of Docker’s commitment to improving the developer experience and productivity to enable a greater focus on innovation. 

Instead of forcing developers to adapt to a “cloud-only” or “local-only” environment, Docker embraces a hybrid approach. This allows developers to enjoy the familiarity and comfort of local development tools for tasks like code editing and debugging while seamlessly scaling to cloud resources when needed for resource-intensive workloads, collaboration, or deployments. Docker Build Cloud requires zero change in the developer’s existing workflow on the local laptop, in their tooling, and in their Dockerfiles – benefits that developers receive with zero switching costs. 

“Docker’s priority has always been improving developer experience and productivity,” said Docker Chief Product Officer Giri Sreenivas. “Docker Build Cloud effectively tackles the challenge faced by engineering teams who lose valuable time waiting for builds to complete, enabling them to remain focused on innovation. As teams expand, this solution scales with each engineer, leading to significant increases in productivity.”

Reduce Build Times, Speed Up Innovation 

The impact of these long wait times on productivity and developer experience can cost even a small organization $420,000 per year (based on an annualized salary of $140,000 and a team of 25 developers). And the build times are longer. The average build time has increased by an average of 15.9% since 2021, and developers lose around one hour each day. Docker Build Cloud seamlessly integrates within the existing workflow of developers, meaning they get time back without shifting from their local environment. For further time savings across teams, Docker Build Cloud also incorporates a shared build cache and accelerates multi-architecture builds with native builders.

With its ease of installation and immediate value and speed, Docker Build Cloud has been well-received by customers.

“At Switchboard, we believe in the power of developer-first tooling,” said DoctorBlocks, Chief Technical Officer at Switchboard. “Our goal is to supercharge Web3 applications with custom data feeds, functions, and verifiable randomness. This means developing and building a lot of Docker images, and a significant challenge was the time spent cross-compiling to support multiple platforms. Docker Build Cloud provides native multi-architecture builders as an out-of-the-box solution that simply works, without the need to build or manage slow emulators. Our overall build times improved considerably through the shared cache feature. Before on our local machine it took 15-20 minutes to build, now with Docker Build Cloud it’s down to 110 seconds, a massive improvement.”

“Our research indicates that organizations are tasked to do far more with fewer resources and the developer skill gaps are a growing concern for modernization efforts,” states Paul Nashawaty, Practice Leader for Application Development and Modernization at The Futurum Group. “By empowering developers to concentrate on higher-value tasks, this technology effectively mitigates complexity, propelling efficiency and dramatically accelerating build times. With this release and building off the recent AI announcements, Dockers drives towards leading developers into a transformative era, streamlining development processes for unprecedented productivity gains and accelerating innovation.”

Availability and Pricing

Current customers of Docker can try Docker Build Cloud today. Existing subscribers receive Docker Build Cloud minutes based on their subscription tier – Docker Personal, Pro, Team and Business. Subscribers can purchase Docker Build Cloud plans which add 200 minutes per seat per month starting at $5 a seat per month, and additional minutes beyond those start at $0.05/minute.
