Docker vs. Oracle Virtualization

You are going to be able to find the most resources and examples using Docker whenever you are working with a container orchestration software like Kubernetes. There will always some entropy when you run in a container, a containerized application will never be as purely performant as an app running directly on the OS. However, in most scenarios this loss will be negligible to the time saved in deployment, monitoring, etc.

Well suited: development work as they provide a very nice free tier, datacenters in Latin America with very low ping, heavy loads for DB if you use Oracle DB Less appropriate: fast webservers as they use hard disks for several tiers, fast MySQL databases as the server is shared, auto-scaling functionality is not present.

Incentivized

• Packaging of application to limit the space occupied
• Ease of running the application
• Provide multiple ways to handle the application issues and integration of different components like pipeline, ansible, terraform etc

• Installation and setup of VM Server are pretty straight forward.
• Many different guest operating systems are supported.
• There can be up to 128 virtual machines per physical server.

Incentivized

• Docker hub image retention policy can be relaxed
• Docker hub policies can be more developer friendly
• Docker CLI help section can be improved
• Image and container storage (local) management can be optimized

• Platform designer
• Support material

I have been using Docker for more than 3 years and it really simplifies the modern application development and deployment. I like the ability of Docker to improve efficiency, portability and scalability for developers and operations teams. Another reason for giving this rating is because Docker integrates CI/CD pipelines very well

Haven't seen any outages, fatal/unrecoverable errors in my usage so far. Enough said.

Docker Desktop. The CPU high usage is a known issue. Needs fixing. Otherwise, it is great overall. Would not use anything else still.

The reason why we are still using Docker right now is due to that is the best among its peers and suits our needs the best. However, the trend we foresee for the future might indicate Amazon lambda could potentially fit our needs to code enviornmentless in the near future.

It is the only tool in our toolset that has not [had] any issues so far. That is really a mark of reliability, and it's a testimony to how well the product is made, and a tool that does its job well is a tool well worth having. It is the base tool that I would say any organisation must have if they do scalable deployment.

• Reduces the number of virtual machine which impacted our quarterly billing
• Using docker with proxy we run multiple application on same port on same host.
• impact on billing is we have to provide docker training to the people who are working on it.

• Saved us licenses fees while we upgrade to a virtual environment and redundancies servers
• Forced me to manage another hard to manage virtual environment
