Containerization has streamlined deployments and supports diverse monitoring and web workloads
I would rate Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS a nine out of ten. I give it a nine because there is always room for improvement, so I would not give any product a perfect ten. Regarding Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security work quite well in terms of namespace isolation; the security is quite strong, but if you want something like image vulnerability scanning, it does not have anything built in, so you have to rely on third-party toolsets, and secret management is a bit of a downside. Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is pretty accurate regarding its AI capabilities and the accuracy and reliability of output. My advice to others looking into using Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is that if you are not using it, then try it. My overall review rating for Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is nine.

Optimized database workloads have run securely and reduced licensing costs through virtualization
The major advantage of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages is that the update is free. Not just the patching and other things, but the update, some classes and other things, and some packages which I get free updates. If someone wants to use it, the license is free. If someone needs support, they can purchase the support. If someone does not purchase the support, there are free updates from Oracle. This is the major advantage to the customer, as they say that they are getting updates free. With Red Hat Linux, I have to purchase the support, otherwise I cannot get the update. Customers prefer that they are using it free and getting the update, and if they need support, they can purchase it anytime. The other part is that Oracle database runs well on Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Whenever there are Intel servers in customer places and customers want to run Oracle database, they prefer Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages has very better security, but a few of the packages of Oracle still are not compatible with Oracle 9. So still in database perspective and grid perspective, I prefer 8. The feature is that it is very stable, memory consumption is low, and no additional service runs in the background. I can minimize the additional services if I want to stop it, it will stop. It is basically Red Hat Linux modified kernel, so those who know Red Hat Linux earlier can easily use Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. The other thing is that whenever I require, I can use the KVM of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages free of cost for virtualization. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is a valuable feature. Security part differs, as it is built by the security team and the operating system team must enforce it. However, installation is very easy. Anyone can install it within twenty minutes without issues.

Pros

"Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has positively impacted my organization as it provides a good way to run our toolsets and applications."
"Docker provides comprehensive support for any deployment process, maintenance, or surveillance of any kind of project because it offers CLI and APIs, Docker Hub, and Docker Desktop client."
"For us it is a small tool; it is not a big investment, so we are not tracking the ROI of the product directly, but I can tell you that it gives a lot of useful features and overall the ROI is worth it."
"When you run your data center in Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages and use Oracle KVM, the value of your ROI is a maximum of two years."

Cons

"Connecting two containers to each other is very tricky and time-consuming for me as a developer."
"Docker on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS can be improved, particularly as security features can always be enhanced, and the configuration is somewhat fragmented with different configuration files that can sometimes be cumbersome."
"The graphical management is not yet up to the mark compared to Red Hat Linux."
"I gave Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages a rating of nine and Oracle support a rating of five because of the difficulty in reaching a working solution and the lack of experienced consultants provided."
