How your service fits together

A dedicated home for your containers

Who maintains the images, deployment process and application dependencies?

1

Your application images

Your users, application choices and external services determine what needs to connect.

Inside your dedicated hosting environment

2

Your dedicated Docker host

Confirm application maintenance, access and deployment responsibilities during scoping.

3

Application volumes and logs

Hosting includes encryption, audit logging and tested backups. Plan capacity follows your workload.

Illustrative operating model. Your final architecture and responsibilities are agreed during scoping. Connected applications and services need their own review; a hosting agreement does not establish their suitability.

Why a dedicated host, not a container platform

Most managed container services put your workload on shared infrastructure. For PHI, the isolation boundary matters.

Single-tenant, no shared kernel

Your Docker host is an EC2 instance in an AWS account dedicated solely to you. Containers on a shared platform share a kernel with strangers; yours do not.

Your registry, your images

Pull from Docker Hub, ECR, GHCR or a private registry. We do not inspect, mirror or rehost your images, and there is no vendor build pipeline in the path.

BAA signed, baseline applied

Encryption at rest and in transit, six-year audit logging, snapshots, CloudFront, a WAF and network isolation are configured before you get access, not left as an exercise.

Where our responsibility ends

Stated plainly, because knowing this before an incident is worth more than discovering it during one.

We run

  • The AWS account, VPC and network isolation
  • The host operating system, patching and hardening
  • The Docker engine and its updates
  • CloudFront, the WAF, encryption, audit logging and backups
  • Monitoring and infrastructure incident response

You run

  • Your images and how they are built
  • Your containers and what runs inside them
  • Application configuration, secrets and data handling
  • Anything your containers connect out to

If a problem turns out to be at the host or infrastructure layer, open a ticket and we take it. If it is inside a container, we tell you what we found and hand it back with recommendations.

HIPAA hosting vs standard hosting

A $10 shared plan is not slightly less compliant; it is categorically different. Most mainstream hosts will not sign a BAA for shared hosting at any price.

Docker hosting tiers

Every tier is a single-tenant AWS account on x86 with a signed BAA and the same compliance baseline. What changes is capacity.

Help me choose a hosting tier

Choose capacity for your workload, rather than the size of your organization. The published tiers share the compliance baseline described above.

CPU and memory
Consider concurrent requests, background jobs, database work and your application's memory needs. Traffic alone does not tell the whole story.
Storage and backups
Allow room for your application, database, uploads and expected growth. Compare the listed live-storage and backup allocations separately.
Data transfer
Estimate outgoing data from page visits, downloads and integrations, then compare it with the included transfer.
When to size up or scope a custom setup
Review capacity when monitoring shows sustained resource pressure or you expect a workload increase. Availability and recovery goals may require architecture changes, not simply a larger server.

Unsure where to start? Share the requirements you know. An engineer can help you choose an existing tier or scope a custom configuration.

What every Docker tier includes

The same compliance baseline at Solo and at Network. Capacity is the only thing that changes.

  • Single-tenant AWS environment
  • CloudFront CDN in front of every tier
  • Web application firewall
  • EBS storage with 7-day snapshot retention
  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Six-year audit logging
  • Tested, encrypted backups
  • Migration included
  • BAA signed within 24 hours of signup
  • 24/7 team, monitoring and infrastructure incident response

Know who owns the next step

Clear scope matters before launch and when you need help.

Hosting operations

Our published managed-hosting baseline includes 24/7 monitoring and infrastructure incident response, patching, logging and tested backups. Application changes and third-party integrations depend on the agreed scope.

Customer support route

Before you commit

Review the BAA, responsibility split, backup and recovery requirements, migration steps and support contacts with us. Tell us which procurement documents your organization needs so we can confirm what is available.

Docker hosting questions

Is Docker HIPAA compliant?
Docker itself is neither compliant nor non-compliant; software is neutral and the stack it runs on decides. A Docker site becomes part of a compliant system when the host signs a Business Associate Agreement (45 CFR § 164.308(b)) and the environment carries the Security Rule safeguards: encryption, access controls, audit logging and tested backups. The images and what runs inside them are yours; the host, the engine and the infrastructure half are ours.
Do you sign a BAA for Docker hosting?
Yes, on every managed tier, within 24 hours of signup and always before any patient data moves to us. Coverage begins at signature, not at migration.
Why x86 instances for Docker?
The Docker tiers run on x86 rather than ARM, so images built for x86 run without rebuilding.
Which tier do we need?
Solo suits one or two services for a single practice. Practice adds capacity for several services, build agents or heavier traffic. Clinic, Group and Network scale to multi-site networks and higher traffic; if you are unsure, tell us what the site does and we will size it with you.
