Docker Reviews

When we are developing an application, we try various libraries. It is better to isolate one application from the other because if they install one library and then it doesn't work on the other end or while using a driver, then it doesn't work on the other driver. There is always this conflict that is bothering us, and that is where Docker separates containers to build applications.

Docker is a useful tool that we just implement and use directly.

It is a perfect solution for me stability-wise. Owing to a few shortcomings in its stability, I would say that its stability can be improved. It is important to note that I am not an expert to speak about what needs improvement.

In the future releases of Docker, we should be able to isolate a couple of applications. It should also be possible to isolate an environment.

I have been using Docker for one or two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have a couple of users in our organization using Docker since it's just a test system right now.

We don't have plans to increase usage.

We haven't contacted the technical support of Docker. We did search for the details of Docker's support team on Google.

We have used the virtual machine named VMware previously. We switched to Docker because VMware was very clumsy when we tried to build a lot of virtual machines using it. VMware is best suitable as a business solution.

The initial setup of the complete environment is complex, but Docker is easy to set up.

If you want to set up a complete environment, it will take a week, depending on the applications.

We don't do the deployment since we only look into the PoC phase. The company we work with does the deployment, and then they worry about the environment, infrastructure, and other things.

We do the deployment by ourselves because we need to test or develop some applications and do the PoC phase.

Docker is perfect for what I do, though it is really limited as a tool.

Overall. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I use Docker for containerization, deployment, and to create packages. Docker has a wide range of uses and integrates well with other command-line tools like Terraform. Docker is most helpful when trying to work with CI/CD pipelines.

Docker's containerization property is its main selling point.

I'd like to see the new update on containers and what you can achieve with the new version of Docker by using containers. I would also like to know the range of applications for which it can be used. I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release.

I have been using Docker for one year.

I rate Docker a nine out of ten for stability.

Docker is a very scalable solution. I rate Docker a nine out of ten for scalability.

Docker's initial setup is straightforward. As a command line tool, it also provides you with docks to reference if you get stuck or have issues.

The solution's deployment time depends on your internet latency or internet speed and the size of the container. If you are deploying a very large application, it will take some time to set up.

Docker is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

To effectively use Docker, users should learn the basics of Docker and understand what containers and images are in Docker.

Overall, I rate Docker a nine out of ten.

I use the tool for SQL, MySQL, and web development.

I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms.

Stability is an area with a shortcoming. Hence, stability needs to be improved.

I have been using Docker for a year. Also, I don't remember the version of the solution I am using since it comes from the repository of Linux.

I rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten.

Normally, I use it on small sites, so I don't know if it can experience scalability.

More than 200 of my students use the tool. Also, the tool is used extensively by me.

Normally, Docker is free for everything, so I don't know if there needs to be a plan to increase the number of users.

Before Docker, I used only a Linux setup.

I have used Docker on Linux for the filesystem.

The deployment of the product was done in a minute or two, considering my internet is very stable.

I use the Docker control plane for the deployment.

I was involved in the deployment process of the solution.

Docker is a free tool.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I don't know what to say to those planning to use Docker, but you can find its details on the internet.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

We are currently migrating some of our applications to Docker containers on the tenant to improve their performance.

We have already started migrating one application to Docker and Kubernetes. We plan to complete this migration within the next two days. Additionally, we plan to migrate our core banking software to microservices, which will be containerized using Docker and Kubernetes.

Docker is useful for container virtualization and installation of applications. Docker is a containerization tool that enables the installation of applications without the need for virtualization. Its primary advantage is that it allows for more efficient utilization of resources, such as with Oracle virtualization. 

The key difference between Docker and classic consolidation is that the former does not rely on a physical machine for resource allocation. Instead, Docker creates lightweight applications that are easy to manage and scale, making the process faster and more efficient.

Moreover, Docker's scalability and manageability are the most valuable features for me.

There is room for improvement in terms of management. Because to use Docker, we should also use Docker as an orchestrator. But if Docker had the necessary tools for management, it would be very good.

I have been using Docker for one year. Moreover, I am using the latest version. 

It's stable because we just use it in a UAC environment.

It is a very scalable solution. It is one reason we plan to migrate to Docker. It is very scalable. We still have technical people working on it. Most of the admins can work on those solutions.

The initial setup of Docker is very simple and easy. If you know what you are doing, deploying the solution takes less than an hour. 

The deployment process depends on how the solution was developed. For Docker, you need to install it and then use Docker to get the necessary image for your OS. It keeps access and depends on your OS. 

Once Docker is installed, you can get the necessary image for your solution. The deployment can be done in-house. 

The licensing cost is not expensive. 

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would recommend using Docker if you are looking for a scalable solution. 

Docker is an open-source container runtime for running container images. We are using Docker Swarm which is similar to Kubernetes but from Docker.

The most valuable features of Docker are its security, detailed documentation, and ease of use, and the Docker Swarm is not as complex as Kubernetes.

There is a feature called overlay network for orchestrating containers in Docker Swarm which makes everything easy. You don't need a load balancer, which makes everything easy for accessing in one container. Additionally, it has internal DNS, which is not in Kubernetes.

If you install Docker on a host, it creates its own firewalls. It can become an issue. Usually, when you want to install Docker, you need to restart the firewall or restart the active tables on the machine, but this is not the case with Kubernetes. It uses the default set up by the next administrator, but with Docker, you have to restart the firewall and restart Docker before the firewall on the system will be okay. If you do not the rules will not be created.

I have been using Docker for approximately six years.

The performance of Docker is good. We usually follow best practices before deploying Docker, we have not had any issues since deployment.

Docker is scalable. However, If you want to vertically scale, you have to do it manually. It doesn't have autoscaling.

We have seven people using Docker in my organization.

The support from Docker is very good. The documentation is rich, any issue you face, somebody already faced and the information is available.

The main reason we are using the Docker Swarm instead of using Kubernetes is you can set up Docker Swarm within five minutes. Docker is easy to set up. Once you install it, you can run it. In this case, the container runtime becomes Docker. The reason why we are using it is the vendor recommended Docker for bank sector purposes. 

Setting up the master nodes in Docker is very easy.

Docker is a free open-source solution. However, there is the Docker Enterprise which is a paid solution.

The founder of Docker decided to move to Docker Enterprise to make revenue. There are many people moving away from Docker.

My advice to others is if you are using legacy applications they do not run well with containers. The person wanting to use Docker has to ask themself questions about themselves to determine if this solution is best. For example, the application that they want to run has to be scalable. People think Docker or Kubernetes is going to solve their problems, but no. If you have problems, it's going to amplify them, but if you have easy, smooth applications, it's going to make your life easier. The application itself has to be scalable. 

The application has to be container ready, such as login inputs, does it follow the 12-Factor principles of deployment, and has security. Even if you don't have security, Docker can help with security if you don't have application security.

You need to consider how you are going to patch the images or the applications and if it will work with languages on WiFi, such as Java, Python, or Ruby version.  Those are requirements you need to meet before deploying Docker. You have to find answers to many questions.

I rate Docker a seven out of ten.

I gave my rating a seven out of ten because autoscaling is necessary for cloud-native applications and it is not available. However, it's easy to use, scalable, and straightforward. It was the defacto container runtime for a long time until they went to an enterprise. Docker is very good in CI/CD. Anybody building images is using Docker to build the images and it works well with CI/CD.

I use Docker primarily for backend services to containerize applications or for API communications.

The most valuable feature is the simple containerization. I can specify what I need to install in a shell to ensure the application runs. It's a straightforward and easy-to-use feature. I also use it with CI/CD tools, finding it a good solution for integration.

In terms of communication between services, perhaps the configuration within networks between containers could be improved.

I have been working with Docker for about six years.

The stability is excellent. I would rate it ten out of ten.

By using Kubernetes, scalability is simple and can be done without issues.

Some developers might use virtualization solutions like VMware, however, Docker is much better because it is simple.

Overall, the setup is simple.

I consider Docker's pricing to be affordable.

Some developers might consider virtualization solutions like VMware.

I would recommend Docker for a wide range of users, from 50 to five million users, as it is simple to configure. 

I rate the overall solution ten out of ten.

Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently. 

The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it. 

I have been using the solution for six to seven years. 

The tool's stability is high and I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

We use the solution 24/7. 

The tool is an open-source product and there is no technical support for it. 

We use Hyper-V and VMware as per our client's requirements. 

The tool's setup is difficult and I would rate it a two out of ten. The tool's POC can be completed in a couple of hours. However, if the project is big, then deployment can take around one to two months to complete. 

The solution is an open-source technology and not a commercial product. However, you will have to pay sometimes. The tool's pricing depends on the vendor. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. The solution is a virtualization technology that is more like a mini-computer. 

We use this solution for our web applications and websites for automatic deployment. We also have a cloud based solution that we sell as a product and we offer cloud hosting, which is Docker based. Our clients have access to a graphic user interface where they can deploy their websites with one click and we use Docker in the back end to make that possible. 

Docker is an entirely containerized cloud solution that supports different types of applications running on the cloud including websites, web applications, APIs and some Lambda functions. We have a whole bunch of stuff running on the cloud. We have thousands of users supported by this solution. 

There are ways of using Docker where you have absolutely no dependencies on the environment that you work in. This allows us to deploy Docker anywhere anytime and this has been most valuable.

Docker removes any dependancies when it comes to deployment. We can ship it between different devices and different locations without our clients being impacted or aware. In once instance, we redeployed a client's container without losing any of their data. 

There are elements of stability that are problematic. One of the most recent upgrades created a major incident on our cloud, whereby the containers were not restarting automatically. Docker is a fairly new application and has matured and improved since 2016 but still needs improvement on stability. 

Prior to using Docker, we used a CH root and jailing process. Essentially, Docker is a CH root on steroids combined with an image management system that is based out of git code. When you're dealing with such low level technology, there should not be issues with stability. 

We have been using this solution since 2016. 

This is a scalable solution

The setup on the most recent versions of Windows is pretty straightforward. The setup on Mac is also pretty straightforward, but there are networking problems.  Docker, it doesn't play well with the Mac virtual hypervisor. There are some issues on that side. On Linux, well, it's less straightforward, you have to know how to work it out. There are no performance or networking issues.

We have done in house deployments and we have also used other tools like Kubernetes or Docker Compose. We have our own PHP library that can deploy Docker containers, which is called Linux for Composer. It is oriented towards helping PHP developers to use Docker to make things more simple. 

We have definitely experienced ROI because it cuts down on development time. There are no surprises when it comes to deployment. It cuts down on development, deployment and it cuts down on staff. There are multiple advantages including on the financial side.

We've had a look at other possible solutions such as KVM and Pod Man. Pod Man is not very mature right now. There are a lot of things that we're used to being able to do with Docker that we can't do right now with Pod Man.

We're not excluding the possibility of using Pod Man. There is also an equivalent to Docker which is the Windows subsystem for Linux, WSL two. We've used that for a few projects in Windows environments, and we are considering putting our Linux distribution on WSL two.

I would advise others not to use Docker as a virtual machine or to think of it as being similar to VMware or Virtual Box. It has an entirely different use case. They have to think about it as a system that is used on an ad hoc basis. 

If you build thinking that it is temporary in nature, you will have the full benefits of Docker. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
