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

Docker has been an essential tool for our internal development process. Being able to develop our products in the same environment as the production servers means we spend less time dealing with OS/library issues and more time being productive. It also helps with the on boarding process as new developers don't have to spend half a day setting up their environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The only issue we've had with Docker is deciding how far down the rabbit hole to go with the containers. 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're able to spend more time in development and less time solving server/library specific bugs and on boarding time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to define a standard environment for my application server, easy to share, test and deploy.

Even easier life cycle using compose and getting advantage of named volumes.

Now it is widespread enough to find many third party tools and services that works with it, adding more value on top, such as: continue integration tools, cloud application services, application container management and quality compliance tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Learning curve is somehow hard, and there are still differences on how it runs on different host machines, like non-Pro versions of Windows.

New users tend to struggle to set-up Docker on their machine and understand how to use it as replacement of their usual development local server.

Sometimes misunderstanding what it is meant for can lead to "hackish" use and dissatisfaction, bouncing potential users back to their comfort zone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For web development, is easier to start using it with docker-compose, as it allows to grasp the interactions of containers by reading the yaml configuration and you can easily play with it, changing the parameters and experiment what happens.

Understanding how volumes works, especially named volumes, and service linking, will make it easier to begin making simple yet productive use of this tool.

If your application is not stateless, you won't have the opportunity to simply deploy your app in a scalable infrastructure, which is one of the great advantages of managing apps as containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Used to have problems when moving an app from the development environment to the staging and production ones. The development environment used to have a different OS or just different software versions, and usually polluted by configurations/versions used for others projects.

Since the adoption of Docker the deployment life-cycle became more predictable, easier to automate and evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ability to quickly run docker container locally and test the new feature developed during the sprint. Ideal for testing web application in microservice architecture; it helped me a lot when we could not deploy in QA enviroment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now I cannot find any defect for this peace of cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

If you want to be a serious testing engineer you need to know Docker. I recommend other Engineers to start learning docker containers and then slowing moving to the Docker Swarm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's easy. It's a cluster but feel like normal Docker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
