281 Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise) Reviews
Docker allows one to roll exactly the same environments on various hosts, not depending on host OS. With support for user namespaces docker provides one more step to perfect containerization. There are a few software solutions that allow one to build on Docker if more complexity is required, Kubernetes and Mesos come to mind, but even the bare-bones Docker or paired with Swarm is a good option for simple deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some isolation issues are questionable, and it's absolutely not a replacement if the solution requires a dedicated VM. Docker is not easy to scale in some medium-sized environments, where Swarm is not enough and Mesos is overkill. Several hosts require careful attention to data volumes and data migration. The official repository contains lots of images with very questionable content, basically if Docker is used in prod one'd better forget about official repo existence.

Environment can be isolated and all the libraries necessary can be provided to each container separately. This simplified the deployment by leaps and bounds by avoiding in-consistencies, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
no easy dashboard like interface. Kubernetes is evolving to handle a lot of the deployment but more functionality should be added. Jenkins integrations will be also great to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a developer, docker containers are the best way to focus only on the business logic of an application, without thinking about the infrastructure layer. The Docker HUB is a great repository where you can find the container that fits your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A container caches some data in a particular folder of the server, and is so difficult to retrieve and delete this data if related container was eliminated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker provides a set of capabilities to package and deploy almost any user-space application. It allows you to treat all applications in the same manner and set limits to what resources that application can consume without having to create a heavy weight VM. It's enabling developers and operations teams to create resilient platforms that deliver greater repeatability, lower complexity and greater uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker is going through a maturity phase. Lots of tools are solving the same problems. Delivering stateful (database) applications with docker can be challenging but the ecosystem is improving rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simply put, docker has completely changed the way that my team & I develop. If you want to test out a database real quick? Find a container, boot it up, write some client code and start kicking at the wheels. Write a script and pull down an entire environment to test locally. It's incredible. With improvements around docker networking, we've started emulating problems like network latency and partitions on our dev machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most of the complaints I would have are now gone (i.e. registry authentication problems, networking support). There are still some young products in the Docker family like Swarm which didn't come out as well as they looked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to install, and when you update you Linux-Kernel the conatiners are updated as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Networking and scaling is rather complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fast and aesy apps deployment, independent deployments, isolated containers that carries all the dependencies and configuration needed with it and easy to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For now docker only supports amd64, but there are ARM images that could be use on raspberry pi, check this link: http://blog.hypriot.com/downloads/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pure simplicity of using a Docker file allows you to rapidly set up and deploy your environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The build process is rather time consuming and annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Container organization of the content is its best feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gets confusing initially and does not give out right error messages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Docker being an excellent tool for Web software development. Full documentation and easily accessible, the Docker Hub has any base required for use. The benefit of being able to share the test environment with other developers is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Experience with the windows leaves a little to be desired, but not exclusively because of the Docker, but rather by the fact that Windows does not follow the architecture of systems based on Unix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
