You should have a good local machine to run heavy Docker containers, it its a simple container with one or two virtual containers then its fine , but to run a complex setup you need a really high configuration system , else it will be really slow and will reduce the productivity of the developer, it has a big learning curve to Dockerise a application, it is easy to use , but not easy to develop the containers , means initial development to setup docker needs good understanding of both docker and your application infrastructure

1. Widely accepted by the micro-services community. 2. A very large community is supporting docker which helps you to find a solution to any problem in minutes. 3. Provides a single-node Kubernetes cluster which can solve major problems of having Kubernetes for small scale companies. 4. Seamlessly integrate with Windows/ Linux command line, and can directly be accessed by referencing its libraries.

1. Heavy consumption of memory. 2. It computer goes low on memory, Docker instance fails, which in turn fails all your application running on the framework. 3. Takes a while to boot up, which can be made better by increasing the efficiency of the program. 4. Managing Docker settings at times becomes a challenge because of highly hidden options. It can be fixed by taking surveys from the users and refactoring the UI elements.

First of all, it's very easy to use. If you have experience on powershell or other batch scripts, you can handle docker command perfectly. Docker changed the world deeply. Container architecture is certain to happen all devops processes. With Docker, software development process and shipping are quite simple. It's because Docker provide a standard file system and command scripts.

If you are Microsoft Windows 10 user, you need to install specific version of windows that supports Docker. When you decide to use Docker, you have to buy a security application to secure docker file and docker images, containers. So, it is another cost.

The advantage of Docker is that it provides an easy way to deploy applications on multiple platforms and can run on multiple operating systems. It also offers a consistent development, testing and deployment environment. Additionally, it is lightweight and can be easily deployed on minimal hardware which can help reduce costs. The software is also secure, as all containers are isolated from the rest of the system, eliminating the potential risk of malware.

Among its weaknesses or shortcomings is that it can be complicated to set up and manage its environment. It's also lack customization options can be a limitation depending on the complexity of the application. Also, docker containers can be expensive, especially when using proprietary and closed source images.

One of the significant benefits of Docker is that it provides consistency across the development, testing, and production environments, reducing the chances of errors and discrepancies that arise from different environments. Docker allows you to run multiple containers on the same machine, making it a great tool for microservices architectures, where each service runs independently in its container. Another advantage of Docker is that it enables efficient resource utilization, as it allows you to run multiple isolated applications on the same host machine. This is particularly useful in cloud environments where resources are expensive, and optimal usage is crucial to cost savings.

One con is the complexity of networking, especially when dealing with multiple containers, which can be challenging to manage. Additionally, while Docker provides isolation at the application level, it does not offer complete security, and you still need to secure your containers and images. Another con that is more of a PSA: Docker images can become quite large, particularly when they contain all the dependencies and libraries required to run an application. This can make them challenging to store and manage, especially in environments with limited storage capacity.

Docker is new sensation in the world of software development we can easily ship our code and applications in a bundle with their binaries and dependency so anyone can run application easily. Docker is the best way to ship your application on multiple platform with less resources.

Docker is not available for windows we have to download vm to run it on windows

Docker is easy to configure and easy to deploy. Docker provide isolation to development and testing and that helps in enhancing the product performance. It's written in Go language. The product provide OS-level virtualization. The Docker for windows provide full container management in Windows environment.

Docker Compose and Docker Swarm are tools that help in orchestration but for Swarm you need to buy it. Even then its totally worth as containerization cut the full project cost drastically.

Docker is a beautiful piece of engineering that solves portability and scalability in the cloud. There are few other competing containerizing solutions, but Docker has the absolutely biggest community and it helps a lot. Every tool, example, tutorial, workaround - anything you can find on the internet. Docker cloud provided us with a registry + some compute power to build our images for very cheap.

Docker Inc is experiencing some turbulence on the business side, so the project future is a bit unclear. But at least the open-source part should be fine, not sure about the paid services.

Great variety of images that you can display in seconds, a very large community that makes this software far superior to others on the market

It already has various competition that is very cheap and at very low prices that allows you to do the same thing, the free code helps that and maybe you don't know how to buy with others

Using docker containers to develop software has allowed new teammates to spin up entire dev environments in a single day or a couple of hours instead of multiple days.

Creating your own docker files requires low level knowledge and is not an "easy" thing to do. Even after a year or two of being familiar with docker, I am still slow and probably inefficient at the docker files I do write.

Docker Hub repository is amazing and has about any thinkable image available to quick start your project. Also Docker pretty much created the container standard used everywhere which simplifies deployment to anywhere.

There is a small learning curve and as with most software and tools it is not really a one size fits all solution so you will need to be critical on the tradeoffs (like performance and cost)

Docker is the single best thing to happen to software developers and operations teams this century. Being able to perfectly "mimic" your production system right on your local MacBook is a feature that has and will continue to save so much developer and ops time that not switching from traditional deployments to Docker will be a huge mistake in the near future. It's so easy to use, makes it so easy to deploy and, with the growing ecosystem of service offered around it, will enable entirely new tech-stacks that will save businesses a lot of time and money.

There's a bit of a steep learning curve to it when you come from a "classic" deployment system. It's also not really that terribly performant when running on macOS, which means we need even bigger and more expensive development hardware, sadly.

Docker is becoming the standard for running containers . Once learn how to do things the Docker way it is fairly easy to use, but until you go through some simple lessons, actually do them, it can be hard to jump into it.

The documentation isn't very good, kind of sparse, and it looks like the writers of the documentation really think the product should only be used one way. Once you have done a few things, based on other peoples suggestions, then it goes pretty smoothly.

One of the biggest pro of this software is its ability of multi-tasking. It can be easily used on Linux, Mac or windows. The size of Docker images are very small due to which its delivery becomes really fast due to which it reduces time also. Deployments become really easy with the help of this software. Docker software consists of most sophisticated community with best stability. It is really time and money saving software. It provides excellent ways to manage containerized applications.

When I talk about cons, one of the con is that its documentation is unstructured and incomplete due to which one has to consume a lot of time in searching Internet. It is quite expensive software. Another issue is that it takes quite long time in releasing latest products due to which sometimes people have to request to the Docker team for trial version.

Docker introduced a new concept (containerization) that effectively changed the way we think to and do deployments of software artifacts, in fact creating a new paradigm that solved a few ancient problems like dependency hell.

Magic always comes with a price, and in this case it's been an added complexity in infrastructure and a relatively steep learning curve. As any other tool, it should be used only when necessary.

Super cheap and super easy to use Fast and reliable

At this price-point there's nothing to complain about, really

Docker Hub, hands down. There's so many images available to download from Docker Hub to make whatever environment you need a snap to deploy.

Paradox of Technology for sure, because Docker is trying to take something complex and make it easy. Sometimes too easy. There's limited options for apps that have an extensive GUI.

Helps in introducing some form of security since your different part of an application can be containerize in a shared system

I am not sure what to had here but I think the cost is still on the high side. Maybe there should be a reduced cost will help a lot of developers

It is better than having a VM for each service and much safer than running all services on the same VM.

If the underlying kernel crashes, all services fail at the same time.

It's Desktop app support on Mac. Also, it has M1 support for my mac.

It's not completely free. I think paid subscription is a little bit expensive. My perspective may change when I'm started using it actively.

I'm not regular user but i can say it can actually speed up the delivery of applications in real time. It can actually accelerate deployment.

Price is the only concern i think. Otherwise it is good as per my usage.

Docker complements an application server, it also allows you to guarantee that your application runs on any machine. The containers generated by the docker are lighter than a virtual machine. It is not necessary to install an operating system for each container. Keep in mind that this tool allows developers to improve their capabilities and pass them to production, when it comes to using the methodology of continuous delivery, helps the features have more value by decreasing the number of errors.

I'm a Windows user and I use your graphic application called Kinematic Alpha. Sometimes I get an error to raise the docker service

Simple and faster configurations, rapid and independent deployment, and cost savings due to less resources utilized.

Learning curve coming from a monolithic deployment methodology, and managing large number of containers can require a lot of attention.

the ability for developers to use this toolkit to quickly and reliably ship code from one computing environment to another in a lightweight way

alternate competitors have features that are better made for production-ready environment for deploying apps at greater scale
