The lightweight architecture on CentOS affects my resource utilization significantly. I have not really noted down specific metrics, but I realize that when it comes to disk space utilization, it really goes up so fast. We do on-premises deployment mainly with Docker on CentOS, so we have not explored the cloud aspect. Because it was first, we recently did it on Ubuntu, but initially, it was running on CentOS. We were comparing and seeing which one runs better, but I realized on Ubuntu it is much easier to work with. Mainly, the support we get is from online communities in case of any challenges, and there may be some people around who have more expertise in that area; that is how we have been managing. I gave this review an overall rating of seven out of ten.
I would advise others looking into using Docker on CentOS that rather than using their services directly on the EC2 instances which costs higher and take more time to boot up, they should go with Docker containers, which are very fast, easy to deploy, and manage, allowing many services to run on the same EC2 instance without dependencies. If a service needs Node.js version 7 and another needs Node.js version 10, there might be conflicts when running directly on EC2 instances, but with Docker containers, these issues do not arise. Moving to microservices like Docker is the best choice rather than directly installing on the EC2 instances. I have covered all the important areas regarding Docker on CentOS. My overall rating for Docker on CentOS is 9 out of 10.
I don't have experience with Dell PowerStore as I haven't worked with it. I am not familiar with PowerStore or its function. I haven't worked with Dell Data Protection or DPA. My experience is limited to servers, switches, and EMC Unity storage. The orchestration and CI/CD process relates to the architecture engineer and solution architecture. I rate Docker on CentOS an 8 out of 10.
