That's why Docker has expanded and improved its trusted content offerings for software developers with the launch of the Docker Verified Publisher Program.

Docker, which shed its container engine and control plane to Mirantis in 2019, has been focusing on improving and securing its Docker Hub, the most popular service for finding and sharing container images.

What Docker Verified Publisher brings to the table is a version of Docker Hub that provides access to Docker differentiated and trusted content.

"We are thrilled to announce the Docker Verified Publisher Program's availability to even more publishers and the distribution of Docker Official Images to even more developers through even more registries," said Docker CEO Scott Johnston.

"This greatly expands choice for developers to complement Docker Official Images and solidifies the Docker platform and Docker Hub as the de facto standard for trusted, secure container images."

Michael Gerstenhaber, Datadog's Senior Director of Product Management, added, "More than half of applications run on containerized infrastructure, and Docker Hub is the primary source for container images, according to our published studies. It is critical that we provide a secure and robust source for our images, and we are excited to be recognized as a Docker Verified Publisher. You can find any Datadog image to start securely monitoring the performance of your infrastructure and applications."
