Question Docker for Plesk makes me confused.

[LionKing]

Server operating system version

Linux Ubuntu

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Web Host Edition Version 18.0.61 Update #6

Seriously I'm confused about this Docker extension for Plesk

On one side it says that it is free and on the other side of the fence it cost 5 USD per month (and for what?).



So what is what really here?
Can someone be kind and explain this to me please?

Thanks in advance; it is appreciated!
Kind regards

but if you want to use remote nodes

So what is a the definition of "remote node" in this case?
