- Deploy applications — build images from Git, publish to registries, deploy containers and Compose stacks, and roll back releases.
- Manage hosts and Swarm — connect local Docker, remote Agents, and outbound Edge Agents; manage nodes, services, tasks, configs, and secrets.
- Inspect workloads — follow logs, open terminals, and track resource usage.
- Back up and restore — protect the control plane, Docker volumes, and supported bind mounts with scheduled backups, retention policies, and restore workflows.
- Automate operations — run TypeScript actions, schedule work, respond to webhooks, and check configuration drift.
- Control access — manage users, teams, roles, and resource permissions, with MFA, OIDC sign-in, and activity history.
