Docker Reveals Hardened Images Pricing Starting at $5K Per Repo
What happened
Between the Dec 29, 2025 and Mar 30, 2026 captures of Docker's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Docker Hardened Images (DHI) pricing now revealed: Community tier is free, Select tier starts at $5k/repo, Enterprise tier requires contacting sales. Previously all DHI plan prices were hidden. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price revealed) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 15, 2026) lists Docker Pro at $9, Docker Team at $15, Docker Business at $24, Testcontainers Cloud Additional Minutes at $3 per 100 minutes and Docker Build Cloud Minutes (500) at $25 per 500 build minutes.
This quarterly roll-up includes the change Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "Docker Restricts Hub Organizations, Drops Debug from Personal Plan" (week of Jan 5, 2026, saved Jan 14, 2026). It also records changes none of that period did (price revealed), so Pulse counts it as a change of its own. Before that, Docker's previous recorded change was "Docker Democratizes Debugging: Free Access for All Users with Personal Plan Update" (Q4 2025). Docker has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Aws and Google Cloud also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
