What is the Docker partner program?
Docker runs a partner program covering resellers of Docker Business subscriptions and technology partners who publish verified content and integrations.
With Docker Desktop's licensing model, partners help organizations manage seats, compliance, and secure supply chains.
How the program works
Resellers transact subscriptions at margin; verified publishers distribute trusted images and integrate with Docker's ecosystem.
Requirements to join
An agreement plus enablement for resellers; a verified, maintained image or integration for publishers.
How partners win with Docker
Resellers earn seat-based margin and renewals; publishers gain distribution and pull-through on Docker Hub.
What to watch out for
Free/community usage is broad, so paid partner value concentrates in Docker Business seat management.
