Container orchestration has improved performance and resource use but exposes disk space issues
How fast the application runs is one of the biggest advantages for me in Docker, but on the downside, issues to do with space utilization arise sometimes. Since we implemented it, the system really improved and became responsive very fast. When you have limited space, the system tends to crash from time to time, so you have to ensure that you have enough space at any one point. We are using the orchestration feature in Docker. That was the main motive for having orchestration; it helps better manage the containers. I am comparing Docker on CentOS with the one that is running on Ubuntu, and in terms of scaling up, it is easy to work with when it comes to that. That is the main feature I have been benefiting from. Because it was first, we recently did it on Ubuntu, but initially, it was running on CentOS. We were comparing and seeing which one runs better, but I realized on Ubuntu it is much easier to work with. The lightweight architecture on CentOS affects my resource utilization significantly.

Streamlined container deployments have reduced manual setup and now accelerate our delivery
ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages can be improved in several ways. We can have better documentation such as step-by-step guides for cluster setup, scaling integration, and troubleshooting playbooks. There are some areas where monitoring setup is mostly manual, which could benefit from pre-installed and pre-configured CloudWatch agent and container insights. Additionally, AMI updates require manual tracking and rollout. AWS sends notifications for new AMI releases, but if that could be automated by AWS, it would help a lot. Regarding needed improvements for ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages, it is still fine regarding security and support, with not much that needs to be improved. However, limited visibility into what patches are included in each AMI release could improve detailed security information such as patch timelines and severity levels. Faster patch delivery would also help with turnaround for critical vulnerabilities and zero-day patches. With security hardening, improvements could include kernel settings and file integrity monitoring.

Pros

"Since we implemented it, the system really improved and became responsive very fast."

"ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages has impacted our organization positively and has been a game changer for this product because it has helped reduce so much manual intervention."
 

Cons

"I have not seen a return on investment because the deprecation made it so there was none, and if anything, the ROI would have been negative since money and time were spent using something that did not progress."
"Docker on CentOS can be improved by being in sync with the OS updates."
"To achieve a higher rating of 9 or 10, they might need more automation features."
"Docker on CentOS can be improved by addressing security concerns, such as sharing the kernel, which leads to weaker isolation than VMs."
"Crashes are the main issue I see. I realize that when it comes to disk space utilization, it really goes up so fast, and the main issue comes from running out of space; that is when crashes happen, and that is the only thing I have seen as an area for improvement in Docker."
"Docker sometimes has some network-related issues, such as the host network not working, so we switch to a different type of network, and regarding CentOS, we are not using any support since it is freeware, relying only on documentation which serves as our support."
"However, documentation could be improved. Documentation could be made more accessible, more readable, and all those things."
"ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages scales with the growing needs of my organization in most cases and does the job effectively. However, during peak times, we require another solution, which is one of the reasons why we are moving to EKS."
"Improvements for ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages could include enhancing the limited flexibilities with custom images; it's not easy to customize or do different hardenings based on previous vendors."
"I have experienced downtime, crashes, and performance issues."
"The UI could be better. It is simple, but it could be more simple."
"Support is helpful for general issues, but response time may not match expectations."
"In my opinion, the ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages can be improved by running faster."
