UCP UI needs a major renovation. UCP API is also stagnated and with limited use cases.

K8S UI is only a "kubectl apply" alternative and lacking any tools for Ops guys, in general I would not recommend it to novice K8S users.

Observability is very limited, integrations with other systems is not well documented (if at all), e.x GitLab, Jenkins-X, Prometheus, ELK, CSI, CNI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Docker is an open source micro service creation and management platform.

Application security: Security becomes a baked in functional property of Docker. If an app is dockerized the probability of other apps that are outside of the container executing remote code is drastically minimized. This ensures that we get application security by default instead of investing time and money into pen testing or code audits.

Infinite scalability: If a web application or backend in dockerized, it can run on a simple low powered device like the raspberry pi to the most high end of servers easily. This ensures that deployment pains are eliminated.

Infrastructure as code: This is the latest paradigm where the entire deployment infrastructure is set in stone as code and committed into version control so that users in the whole organization are are on the same page when it comes to development infrastructure.
