| Fact | Docker Desktop | Telepresence |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Docker Desktop is a containerization platform for developers and teams that streamlines container development and deployment. | Telepresence lets Kubernetes application developers run a service locally while connecting it to a remote Kubernetes cluster. |
| Security controls | The Business plan includes Hardened Docker Desktop, Single Sign-On, SCIM provisioning, Image and Registry Access Management, and Enhanced Container Isolation. | Traffic-manager authentication can be disabled, permissive, or enforcing; enforcing mode rejects calls without valid credentials and unauthorized intercepts. |
