Containerization has streamlined microservices delivery and ensures consistent hybrid deployments
The capabilities of Docker on CentOS that I have found the most valuable include its use for Spring-based applications, which significantly enhance the value I derive from it. Docker on CentOS is particularly effective for building distributed applications and microservices. Deployments are smooth and easy, and the integration with Kubernetes is seamless. I have successfully managed 80-plus pods clusters, scaling from 80 to 85 with 140 TPS without encountering any issues. Docker on CentOS's lightweight nature allows for flawless development across environments such as dev, stage, and prod. From my perspective, the experience with the deployment of Docker on CentOS is quite positive, especially for the CI/CD pipeline. The architecture overview includes the use of a Git repository and GitLab CI, which facilitates the Docker build for our Spring 3.x Java applications.

Auto-scaling microservices reduce costs while ensuring fast, reliable document parsing
While ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux has provided significant benefits in terms of scalability and cost optimization, we have encountered a few operational challenges. One limitation is application-level debugging. Compared to traditional EC2 instances, troubleshooting in ECS can be more complex because containers are ephemeral. Without centralized observability tools, it is more difficult to pinpoint the exact source of an issue, such as the specific line of code, request, or service responsible for an error or performance bottleneck. To address this, we have implemented our own centralized logging and monitoring solution to improve visibility into application behavior. Another consideration is resource sizing. Our microservices have relatively modest memory requirements, so the available ECS task configurations are sufficient for our workloads. However, for large, monolithic applications with higher memory and compute requirements, scaling can require a different architecture or deployment strategy. Since our platform is built using independently scalable microservices, this has not been a significant limitation for our environment.

"ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing the overall cost."
"Implementing ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages has reduced the amount of money we are spending."
 

Cons

"Docker on CentOS can be very secure and well-governed, but that security only exists if it is configured intentionally; out of the box, it is not secure by default for AI workloads."
"Docker on CentOS can be improved by ensuring that we are using the right image available around the world and choosing only the specific needs for applications, the right amount of CPUs and memory, and the isolation of the problems that we can have on production."
"Docker on CentOS can be improved in areas such as container security and monitoring complexity, which need to be addressed from the CentOS end."
"The security on Docker on CentOS needs to be highly improved to avoid threats around it and also help us protect better our stakeholders' data, more specifically patient data."
"Docker on CentOS could be improved by delivering the latest versions faster because CentOS does not always deliver the latest versions of 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."
"To achieve a higher rating of 9 or 10, they might need more automation features."
"Docker on CentOS has not positively impacted my organization in metrics such as time saved, cost reduction, or improved efficiency, as it is basically the same in every environment."
"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."
"Support is helpful for general issues, but response time may not match expectations."
"To improve ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages, deployment strategies need to be carefully chosen, especially regarding container tagging strategies for deployments from Jenkins or GitHub Actions, and improving container image sizes."
"In my opinion, the ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages can be improved by running faster."
"I have experienced downtime, crashes, and performance issues."
"With ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages, we are not able to see the error log whenever it occurs."
"The UI could be better. It is simple, but it could be more simple."
