Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

We use it to manage our docker container fleet.

Our Scope covers a large number of projects starting with single deployments to multiple devices and racks with different hardware and software vendors, we are looking forward to enabling containerization orchestration, automation, and also the implementation and leverage of generated artificial intelligence.
  • Start, stop, and restart containers.
  • Monitor logs, and automate tasks and behavior of the containers running in the server managed by Portainer.
