Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

Docker is available in two editions: Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE).

Docker Community Edition (CE) is ideal for developers and small teams looking to get started with Docker and experimenting with container-based apps. Docker CE has two update channels, stable and edge:

• Stable gives you reliable updates every quarter
• Edge gives you new features every month

For more information about Docker CE, see Docker Community Edition.

Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) is designed for enterprise development and IT teams who build, ship, and run business critical applications in production at scale. For more information about Docker EE, including purchasing options, see Docker Enterprise Edition.

Docker有两个版本：社区版和企业版。
Docker社区版对于那些希望开始Docker和基于容器进行app实验的开发者和小团队是很理想的。Docker社区版有两种更新渠道：
稳定版每个季度提供可靠的更新
测试版每个月提供新的功能
更多信息参考Docker社区版。
Docker企业版为企业开发和IT团队设计，他们在大规模生产中构建，交付，运行业务关键应用程序。更多新信息，包括购买选项，参考Docker企业版。

Updates, and patches

• A given Docker EE release will receive patches and updates for at least one year after it is released.
• A given Docker CE Stable release will receive patches and updates for one month after the next Docker CE Stable release.
• A given Docker CE Edge release will not receive any patches or updates after a subsequent Docker CE Edge or Stable release.
