Summary
Docker, Inc. relaunched its partner program as the Docker Navigator Partner Program, which seeks to deliver connected AI governance solutions that enterprises can trust. The program brings together channel and technology partners, cloud providers, and systems integrators to address the challenge of fragmented AI stacks so customers can deploy agentic workflows with confidence and control.
Docker helps developers and enterprises contain and govern agents across the agentic stack. Docker Hardened Images form the base for agent code, local and cloud Docker Sandboxes isolate where agents run, Docker MCP Enterprise Gateway controls what agents can access, and Docker AI Governance sets enterprise-wide policy. Partners can pair these capabilities with other trusted solutions used across customer workflows.
The Docker Navigator Portal gives partners training, certification, an asset library, deal registration, and tier verification. The three tiers are Crew, Explorer, and Navigator, each with defined requirements. An AI Governance Growth Incentive adds margin for every tier on Docker AI Governance opportunities registered between October 1, 2026 and January 31, 2027 and closed by April 30, 2027.
Docker is a founding creator of Agent Baseline, an open source, vendor-neutral framework published in collaboration with Snyk and Keycard that defines six security outcomes for enterprise AI agents, including the Secure Software Factory reference architecture. Docker is also a founding member of the Blueprint Alliance, a coalition formed in September to develop an open, multi-vendor reference architecture for securing AI agents.
“As enterprises race to deploy AI agents at scale, the stack that supports them is growing increasingly fragmented, such that no single vendor can realistically own it,” said Leon Jones, Vice President, Partnerships and Alliances at Docker, Inc.
“The Docker Navigator Partner Program is designed to confront that reality and deliver a common framework where the pieces of the agentic stack come together. It builds on a foundation developers already trust and gives Docker’s partners a clear path to helping their customers succeed with their AI initiatives.” Jones said. Docker has committed to publishing reference architectures with partners.
