**Portainer CE** is a lightweight ‘universal’ management GUI that can be used to **easily** manage Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes and ACI environments. It is designed to be as **simple** to deploy as it is to use.
Portainer consists of a single container that can run on any cluster. It can be deployed as a Linux container or a Windows native container.
**Portainer** allows you to manage all your orchestrator resources (containers, images, volumes, networks and more) through a super-simple graphical interface.
You can join the Portainer Community by visiting community.portainer.io. This will give you advance notice of events, content and other related Portainer content.
