What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Containerization gives exceptional control over environment, which reduces bugs and unpredictable test results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Local development can be a hassle with logs from all services being lumped into one giant stream on STDOUT. This isn't so much of a problem in production when connected to a mature logging service (we use SumoLogic) which allows easy querying, but it can make local debugging a bit messy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Docker allows us to do all the environment configuration before deploying, instead of having to maintain a series of build scripts. It produces consistent and reproducible environments for running applications which significantly reduces the sources of error in deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

With docker, your able to run containers in a very easy way. You can browse image containers (system templates) in the container hub (central repository) and look for official and community images. You can try all sorts of software and services in a sandboxed environment, without affecting your system. You can also create your own images based on a scratch one or one available in the hub. You can also create your private hub to store private images of your software.

Reproducing a similar environment (like development, staging and production) was never this easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)?

Most common software is available, others aren't. For those that aren't you need to create the image and that can take some time. But of course, after you create the first one, you can save it and share it with others.

Also, networking between containers in different hosts is still tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise):

By far, the best solution to ensure you have a consistent production environment, avoiding situations like "it worked in my computer". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reproducing the same environment in different machines, whether the developer laptop, a staging desktop or a production server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a bunch of rails applications that talk to each other, they also use separate databases, caching, etc. Setting up development environment for new devs has been a challenge until we converted our apps to Docker. Now we build, test, and ship our applications with the same container technology without having to worry about system differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
