tutum

Tutum was a cloud-based platform for deploying and managing Docker containers across public cloud providers. It provided a graphical dashboard, an application programming interface, and a command-line interface that let users deploy single containers or multi-container applications using Docker images and Compose-like files. The platform offered features common to container hosting services, including container orchestration, service discovery, load balancing, auto-scaling, health checks, and basic storage provisioning, with deployment targets including major cloud providers via integrated connectors.

History: Tutum launched in the mid-2010s as a standalone service to simplify running Docker containers in the cloud. In 2015, Tutum was acquired by Docker, Inc. and the product was integrated into Docker’s cloud offerings under the Docker Cloud branding. The combined service continued to provide multi-container deployment and orchestration across supported providers. In 2019, Docker Cloud was deprecated and subsequently discontinued, with its capabilities refocused within Docker Enterprise and other Docker tools. The Tutum brand itself was retired, and the original Tutum service is no longer available.
