Details on Deprecated Docker Products: Machine, Toolbox, Cloud Integrations, Enterprise Edition, Data Center, and Trusted Registry

longer maintained, and users are encouraged to use [Docker Desktop](/manuals/desktop/_index.md) or [Docker Engine](/manuals/engine/_index.md) directly on supported platforms. Machine's approach to creating and configuring hosts has been superseded by more modern workflows that integrate more closely with Docker Desktop. ### Docker Toolbox Docker Toolbox was used on older systems where Docker Desktop could not run. It bundled Docker Machine, Docker Engine, and Docker Compose into a single installer. Toolbox is no longer maintained and is effectively replaced by [Docker Desktop](/manuals/desktop/_index.md) on current systems. References to Docker Toolbox occasionally appear in older documentation or community tutorials, but it is not recommended for new installations. ### Docker Cloud integrations Docker previously offered integrations for Amazon's Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Azure Container Instances (ACI) to streamline container workflows. These integrations have been deprecated, and users should now rely on native cloud tools or third-party solutions to manage their workloads. The move toward platform-specific or universal orchestration tools reduced the need for specialized Docker Cloud integrations. You can still view the relevant documentation for these integrations in the [Compose CLI repository](https://github.com/docker-archive/compose-cli/tree/main/docs). ### Docker Enterprise Edition Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) was Docker's commercial platform for deploying and managing large-scale container environments. It was acquired by Mirantis in 2019, and users looking for enterprise-level functionality can now explore Mirantis Kubernetes Engine or other products offered by Mirantis. Much of the technology and features found in Docker EE have been absorbed into the Mirantis product line. > [!NOTE] > For information about enterprise-level features offered by Docker today, > see the [Docker Business subscription](/manuals/subscription/details.md#docker-business). ### Docker Data Center and Docker Trusted Registry Docker Data Center (DDC) was an umbrella term that encompassed Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP) and Docker Trusted Registry (DTR). These components provided a full-stack solution for managing containers, security, and registry services in enterprise environments. They are now under the Mirantis portfolio following the Docker Enterprise acquisition. Users still encountering references to DDC, UCP, or DTR should refer to Mirantis's documentation for

This section elaborates on deprecated Docker products and their replacements. Docker Machine is superseded by Docker Desktop, Docker Toolbox is no longer maintained, Docker Cloud integrations are replaced by native cloud tools, Docker Enterprise Edition is now part of Mirantis, and Docker Data Center/Trusted Registry are also under the Mirantis portfolio. Users should transition to the recommended alternatives for continued support and functionality.
