Portainer Community Edition is an open-source, lightweight service delivery platform for containerized applications.
It enables the management of Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes, and ACI environments.
It provides a smart GUI and a comprehensive API to manage your orchestrator resources, including containers, images, volumes, networks, and more.
Cresswell quickly shut down their original CaaS business and focused solely on developing Portainer as a product, building it out from there.
The main objective for Portainer now is to enable organizations to offer CaaS platforms internally on any container runtime or orchestrator of their choice.
If a business wants to run container-based apps in the easiest way possible, Portainer is the ideal tool.
Supporting Docker and Kubernetes, it abstracts complexity and simplifies the process, making it accessible even to those with only a sysadmin background.
Portainer provides the necessary controls and protections to ensure that apps run securely on well-configured platforms.
It differs from others in that it focuses on making container technology readily accessible.
We also want Portainer to be your only tool to manage your platform.
You shouldn't be forced to go and self-select a complete toolchain to manage containers; you should be able to have a single tool that handles all vital elements of your platform: provisioning, lifecycle, security, compliance, troubleshooting, etc.
Portainer Community Edition is updated regularly, and the developers aim to release an update every few months.
