Senior Cloud Engineer - AWS at Bytedance5.0I used Docker to create a Docker image for Java code deployment, finding its virtualization beneficial for eliminating host machine dependencies. It ensures compatibility across various machines, though port mapping can present challenges not directly related to Docker.
Solution Architect and Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies4.0In our company, Docker aids in resource utilization for 5G network design, but its steep learning curve and scripting challenges hinder adoption. OpenShift is often preferred due to easier integration with existing Red Hat systems without major infrastructure changes.
Backend Engineer at Northeastern University5.0I work with startups and companies to build products from scratch to production using Docker, which simplifies deployments and reduces time compared to EC2 instances. Docker's sandbox environment is essential, though debugging containers remains a challenge for improved development efficiency.
Technical program manager at Intel Corporation4.5In my company, we use Docker for internal applications and DevOps deployments, valuing its compatibility with Windows, Linux, cloud platforms, and the CLI. While beneficial for cost-saving, it needs improvement in backup compatibility for legacy systems.
CTO at Huber4.0I use Docker for application validation and have found it flexible and easy to use, providing high ROI through faster and consistent deployments. However, it can occasionally cause performance issues. Docker's portability made it preferable to Kubernetes.
Senior Technical Lead at Changepond Technologies5.0In our development, Docker enables quick environment setup by using pre-existing images, enhancing efficiency and CI/CD workflows. While Docker volumes can be challenging, the ROI is evident in reduced setup time and hardware compatibility issues.
Infrastructure manager4.5I use Docker to publicly launch applications via CloudFront and cache optimized performance. Its customizable features improve resilience with minimal failures. While monitoring capabilities are lacking, Docker efficiently isolates applications, preventing outages from affecting others. We opted for Docker over other solutions on AWS.
Project Engineer at CDAC4.0In our project with 178 microservices, we use Docker for managing and load balancing. While Docker and Docker Compose efficiently host our applications, we encounter stability issues. We haven't considered other solutions or specific cloud providers yet.
