Unleash the power of containers
Portainer empowers you to securely manage containerized applications on Docker, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes.
From the datacenter to the cloud
Portainer is a universal container management platform that doesn't lock you into a single technology or vendor

How does Portainer work? The architecture
Portainer consists of two parts: a Server and an Agent. Both run as lightweight containers. The Portainer Agent runs on the node in your cluster and communicates with the Portainer Server. The Portainer Server centrally manages the nodes it connects to a single Portainer server can manage up to 25,000 nodes.
