I signed up for UCP and was contacted by a few guys at Docker to go over the features. It was an hour-long presentation. They wanted something like ~$1,500 per node. I'm still not exactly sure what a `node` entails. The salesman seemed extremely technical and was able to answer all of the questions I asked. Too bad their website isn't able to give me the directions for using UCP without me clicking on the "sign-up" button (which now doesn't work because I've already signed up), or else we might be using it to deploy at Adobe.

Hi, I'm the founder of Docker. Sorry that you had an issue on the website. I warned the team of your comment, feel free to email me directly at s@docker.com and I'll put you in touch.

Note that the price you mention is yearly. A node is anything you can install Docker Engine on. Typically it's a physical or virtual server. All nodes are combined into a swarm, which you can manage from the control plane.

Pricing is more than reasonable. If you add a backup into the UCP, it will be a steal.
Ping me if you need any help with Kubernetes, on Google or elsehere; we'd love to help
