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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Docker on CentOS has positively impacted my organization by reducing operation costs, providing more reliable service, and saving money for the company budget and on other tools."
"Docker on CentOS, being lightweight and stable, integrates well with the Linux kernel, providing minimum overhead and cost efficiency, which is crucial for resource-constrained environments."
"Docker on CentOS has improved my organization positively, as it is easy to operate and maintain, making it more flexible—you can change any service in the system, delete or remove the service port, and create new ones."
"Docker on CentOS has positively impacted my organization by being much faster than installing and configuring the database directly on the machine."
"Docker on CentOS demonstrates good and effective portability for containers."
"Docker on CentOS has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to deliver identical solutions to development and production environments, making it easier to deploy new versions, debug versions that we have in other environments, and utilize many pre-built images available in Docker Hub and the official Docker registry."
"Since we implemented it, the system really improved and became responsive very fast."
"This approach is saving us cost and also saving us a significant amount of time."
"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
 

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."
"Regarding Docker on CentOS's AI capabilities, I think it has the possibility for improvement in the accuracy and reliability of output."
"Because of CentOS lifecycle issues and support issues, additional security tuning that is required, and storage and networking complexity, I am providing this feedback."
"I think there are sometimes issues with CentOS systems as such regarding Docker; it misbehaves sometimes."
"I have faced challenges with the end-of-life cycle of CentOS since 2021-2022, security updates, network complexity with multi-node DNS issues, storage persistence pain points with EBS and EFS, and resource management before the Kubernetes abstraction."
"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."
"To improve Docker on CentOS, apart from having CentOS be end of life, which raises a security risk, I do not see anything else that I can point out about Docker."
"Docker on CentOS can be improved, but that is a very tough and tricky question."
"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
