Container workflow has reduced deployment effort but still faces cost and pricing challenges
I use Docker a lot, especially during production deliveries. I deliver development that runs in a Docker container. Docker is very convenient because it abstracts away all the problems by containerizing everything. It contains all of the requirements into one container for ease of use and easy deployment. Docker streamlines things and makes it easier for testing and development. With full automation, it cuts my deployment and testing time at least in half. I have been using Docker for a long time and continue to use it. Docker is the heart of many AI tools that are used, and I have an AI workstation that uses Docker to package up certain capabilities for AI engineering.

A developer-friendly and highly customizable operating system that offers cost savings
The tool's setup can be done in two ways: with a GUI and without a GUI. You can install the GUI. You download the base image, and during installation, it will ask you whether you want just a plain server or a server with a GUI. It will give you all the options, including whether you want a non-graphical user interface normally used in enterprise environments. You don't need any GUI in enterprise settings because those servers are installed and managed without it. If you use the GUI, it will consume more RAM and CPU. However, if you use just the simple non-GUI version, it will use fewer resources. On the server side, people typically don't use the GUI; they only use the non-graphical user interface because it is sufficient for running the server. On the desktop or workstation end, you can have the GUI installed. If a system is the latest one, with a high-end CPU, a good amount of RAM, and SSD drives, it should not take more than ten minutes.
