Containerization has accelerated testing cycles and consistently reduced time to market
Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is a very mature product, and I don't think there is a lot of improvement that they need to do on their end. The Docker team is coming up with new features, and integration with the IDE, for example, would be amazing. Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine. I chose nine out of ten for Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS because I think they could improve a little more on optimization. It sometimes demands a lot of RAM and computing power, so that is one area that the Docker team could improve upon.

Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Fast deployment is the main benefit."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS positively impacts my organization because we have sped up our development very quickly, and our team has grown quickly, not only because of Docker but also due to Docker."
"Ease of use from the developer's point of view is the best feature."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS makes both managing and deploying that service easier for me."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has a positive impact on our organization regarding ROI itself, as even though RedHat solutions are not cheap, scalability, availability, and long-term support have evolved and shown that the operational cost with integrated support is very viable, resulting in an operational return with availability of more than 99.9%, which is very impactful for the company as a whole."
"Version updates make my day-to-day work easier because they ensure the security of the environment by fixing bugs and issues that pose risks."
"Performance stands out in my environment because it doesn't need a lot of CPU and memory to deliver good performance."
"For example, I can apply a build in production, within our working language, and know that I can reproduce it in any scenario within RedHat."
"This productivity gain shows up in the team's daily work in the ready-made images and in the automation with Terraform and Pulumi."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is the best, most stable, and free operating system that we have on the market right now."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is a perfect tool for any corporate environment because it delivers several improvements, standardization, tools, and features that are required nowadays in daily corporate environments."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has positively impacted our organization, as it makes the work more fluid because all the Red Hat services work much better on their OS and make administration easier."
 

Cons

"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is stable enough, but again, it is very old."
"Maybe the daemons need to be improved, as they consume a lot of resources for building and running images."
"Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine."
"I have not seen a return on investment that I can quantify, and I do not have specific metrics to share regarding fewer employees needed, money saved, or time saved."
"Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"It would be very presumptuous of me to speak badly of a product that is clearly being improved, but of course, more agility, a lower SLA response time, and a more user-friendly interface for the client are always better."
"To improve RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, one suggestion is to address complexities in updating security patches in critical or isolated environments lacking connectivity with the remote repository or the internet, as this complicates some updates and necessary checks."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved as a system."
"I have not been making effective use of AI. I still intend to reach that level, but I believe it must be secure."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved by integrating it through AI."
"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
