"Docker on CentOS 8: A great tool but struggling due to End-of Life cycle"

4/5

What do you like best about Docker on CentOS 8?

- Docker simplifies application deployment and management using containerization, which helps with consistency across platforms in all environments.

- Using the official package manager of Yum it's very easy to install and use Docker on CentOs 8.

- The community has great resources that can solve almost all problems faced during troubleshooting.

- Docker is one of the very critical tools in my tech stack because it helped me with building the Ci/Cd pipeline and having smooth deployment and rollbacks if necessary.

- With additional features like Docker Compose and Docker Swarm it's very easy to use, deploy, and manage multiple services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Docker on CentOS 8?

- One of the biggest downsides of using docker with CentOs 8 is the archived version now because it stopped getting security updates after the end of 2021 which makes it a security threat for production use.

- Docker in itself is a complicated product that can take a while to understand and sometimes can be hard to understand OS-specific issues if occur for a beginner.

- Docker is great in performance but there were specific incidents in the past where I faced performance overhead and it took a while to figure out the issue because it required both docker and CentOs 8 in-depth knowledge to debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Docker on CentOS 8 solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Docker is great tool for software development and deployment and CentOs 8 is easy to use OS in that regards where I could install docker and deploy it on other platforms without worry about compatibility because docker can take care it of for me.

- Packaging complex applications which are in different tech stack but could easily be containerised and deploy.

- Having easy support with other big tools like Jenkin, Kuberneters etc helped me test and deploy my application much more easily on other platforms which reduced a lot of overhead of figuring out a OS which can support all major tools.

- The big thing is solved for me is management of application deployment and increase feature deployment speed which is critical for small size team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Docker on centos pros and cons"

4/5

What do you like best about Docker on CentOS 8?

Automating deployment and security as containers in docker are isolated from each other. CentOS handles the docker process very efficiently. Because docker is portable, we can deploy the application in both cloud and on-prime servers, and the containers run smoothly. We can use many containers with different applications to save money.

What do you dislike about Docker on CentOS 8?

Centos is no longer receiving security updates, which means it will be less safe than it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
