Highlights |
Research Team Insight Published Reviewers have utilized both Docker and Proxmox VE for virtualization, but the use cases differ slightly. Docker users often mention deploying applications in a contained environment, as it isolates applications into separate containers enhancing security and resource management. This has been found particularly beneficial for developers testing new applications or deploying numerous microservices. Conversely, Proxmox VE users have appreciated its ability to create and manage virtual machines and utilize it for cloud computing and hosting services. In terms of interface and usability, customers have differing experiences with Docker and Proxmox VE. Docker users have highlighted its command-line interface, and users usually manage and deploy containers based on text files written in a DSL (Domain Specific Language). On the other hand, Proxmox VE users prefer its GUI (Graphical User Interface), and the web-based management interface that is very user-friendly and intuitive. This visual interface has been especially useful in dealing with management of virtual machines. Docker and Proxmox VE have both been used in a collaborative environment but there’s a clear distinction in the type of collaboration. Docker, due to its containerization aspect, has been mentioned by users as highly integrable with DevOps tools which promotes seamless workflow among development teams. In contrast, Proxmox VE’s shared storage and live migration features have been beneficial for administrators dealing with distributed systems and maintaining uninterrupted services, promoting collaboration on a system administrative level. |
