    [Mirantis Cloud Native Suite (Docker Enterprise)] is the most advanced tool till now, which works as a VMs
    and separates any single application from the dependencies. Also, this tool is
    helping me in the agile development of the processes. It is strongly recommended to
    almost all major organizations.

    We haven't found any scenarios where it's not appropriate, but it's well-suited for anyone wanting a stable PHP environment where Zend does the heavy lifting and you don't have to babysit the environment constantly.

    Pros
    Mirantis
    • Containers - Docker is the go-to when using Containers, which are super useful if you need an environment that works both for Windows and Linux
    • Efficiency - Docker is very lightweight and doesn't demand too much from your CPU or server
    • CI/CD - Docker is excellent for plumbing into your build pipeline. It integrates nicely, is reliable, and has an easy set up.

    Cons
    Mirantis
    • Containers are often opaque - if a container doesn't work out of the box, it's messy to fix.
    • Logging is complexified by the multiple containers and logs are often not piped to places you expect them to be.
    • Networking is complexified due to internal port mapping between containers, etc.

    Usability
    Mirantis
    Docker's CLI has a lot of options, and they aren't all intuitive. And there are so many tools in the space (Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, etc) that have their own configuration as well. So while there is a lot to learn, most concepts transfer easily and can be learned once and applied across everything.

    Zend is the easiest PHP web server I've used, especially, again, for daily monitoring.

    Support Rating
    Mirantis
    The community support for Docker is fantastic. There is almost always an answer for any issue I might encounter day-to-day, either on Stack Overflow, a helpful blog post, or the community Slack workspace. I've never come across a problem that I was unable to solve via some searching around in the community.

    We've used XAMPP, PHPmyAdmin and similar local environments (our app is on PHP). Because of how easy you can change the configuration of libraries on PHP and versions (which is SO painful on XAMPP or other friendly LAMP local servers) we are using Docker right now. Also, being sure that the environment is exactly the same makes things easier for developing.

    The Zend Studio PHP IDE is great and has great integration with the Zend Server Platform.

    Return on Investment
    Mirantis
    • Docker has made it possible for us to deploy code faster, increasing the productivity of our development teams.
    • Docker has made it possible for us to decentralize our build and release system. This means that teams can deploy on their own schedule and our dev ops team can concentrate on building better tools rather than deploying for the teams
    • Docker has allowed us to virtualize our entire development process and made it much simpler to build out new data centers. This, in turn, is significantly increasing our ROI by providing a path forward for internationalization.

    • ROI - saved a ton of time not having to configure vanilla PHP.
    • Zend framework is easily available and makes many programming tasks much easier.
    • Day to day time savings since Zend essentially monitors itself.
