I can&#x27;t help but feel like Docker is lacking focus and a proliferation of tools with overlapping roles are emerging. So we have Docker Machine to provision nodes from command line, Kitematic as a GUI version, Tutum, which is similar to both (albeit more powerful) but hosted by Docker, and now the Universal Control Plane.<p>I&#x27;m having trouble understanding exactly what the Universal Control Plane does. There doesn&#x27;t seem to be much available in terms of documentation, just the beta signup page.
