Containerization has streamlined testing workflows and reduces server resources for our builds
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Docker on Ubuntu is that I'm working at a product-based company that has its own app, so we have to check and deploy this app on a containerized base system using Ubuntu as a base machine, installing Docker , and testing the app.
A quick example of how I use Docker on Ubuntu with my company's app involves a big server located in the US, where it has 48 cores, around 512 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage, and we have a requirement to install Docker as a container system on a Ubuntu base to deploy our application in order to test whether our new build is working as expected or not, using Docker on Ubuntu for testing purposes.
As I mentioned, it's a product-based company, and we're using a monitoring tool called Cabmon to monitor all the servers in our environment, so for this, we have a NOC server, which we initially used as a full server, but a few weeks or months back, we migrated these onto containers for testing purposes.
What is most valuable?
The best features that Docker on Ubuntu offers in my experience are ease of usability and performance.
Ease of usability and performance with Docker on Ubuntu have helped me because Ubuntu is a Debian-based OS that can operate in both server and desktop modes, so when using Docker on Ubuntu on a server base, I need to install a few packages to convert the machine to GUI mode, making Docker on Ubuntu easy to use.
While I think security is not a standout feature, ease of usability and performance remain the main highlights for me since it's only environment-specific and involves local testing along with monitoring only internal servers.
Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization through resource savings, as for our NOC server, we are using a dedicated 30-core server with 256 GB of RAM, but with the help of Docker on Ubuntu, we can run multiple containers on the same server.
In terms of resource savings, we reduced the number of servers from around 100 to 70 after using Docker on Ubuntu within our private cloud, where we have numerous servers located in multiple locations in the US.
What needs improvement?
One area where Docker on Ubuntu can be improved is networking, as sometimes the containers don't have network access or experience network-related issues, which definitely needs to be addressed.
Other than networking, I'm not facing any other issues as it's mostly a common concern.
Networking remains the main improvement needed for Docker on Ubuntu.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Docker on Ubuntu for around five plus years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on Ubuntu is stable in my experience.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Docker on Ubuntu's scalability is good.
How are customer service and support?
I have not felt the need to reach out for customer support for Docker on Ubuntu, as it has not been required.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Kubernetes , which by default uses CNI because it's a lightweight container service without a specific daemon, as I mentioned earlier.
What was our ROI?
I've observed a return on investment through money and time savings, as it's easier to spin up a new container instead of setting up a new server.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing Docker on Ubuntu.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Docker on Ubuntu an eight overall.
I chose 8 out of 10 because Docker includes a service and a daemon that require specific configurations, similar to other services such as httpd; it's heavy for any server, occasionally needing daemon reloads, hence, I'm cutting two points; otherwise, Docker on Ubuntu is excellent for testing purposes.
My advice for others looking to use Docker on Ubuntu is to check the daemon first and always make appropriate network-related settings to avoid issues. I have given Docker on Ubuntu a rating of 8 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Containerization has streamlined my student backend projects and improves collaborative learning
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Docker on Ubuntu is primarily for my course project and specifically for the college project, where I mainly use it for database and backend development.
Regarding my main use case for Docker on Ubuntu , there is a considerable learning curve involved. As a beginner, I sometimes find myself confused about the commands and the various functionalities, but once I understand the fundamentals, I realize that it is simple and easy to use Docker on Ubuntu. Initially, I did not grasp how everything works internally, and sometimes debugging issues within containers takes extra time. Overall, Docker on Ubuntu is a powerful tool for students and developers, specifically useful for project work and back-end development while learning modern database and development practices.
What is most valuable?
In the seventh semester, I was working on a project involving Docker on Ubuntu for a fitness exercise management system, where a user can add their details, diet details, such as their weight and height, among other things. We are providing them with information about what yoga, exercise, and food they need to incorporate into their daily life to maintain their health. I utilized Docker on Ubuntu to store the database while learning backend development during my college project. It helped me to understand how applications can run in different environments, which is very important for real-world application and development.
Initially, installation on Ubuntu was quick and straightforward using a terminal command, and it did not take too much time. It would take even less time once installed, and I use Docker on Ubuntu to create containers and run applications without worrying about system compatibility. This was very helpful while working on different project setups. Sometimes we are using different types of setups, and during those times, Docker on Ubuntu is helpful. What I appreciate most about Docker on Ubuntu is that it saves a lot of time in the long run. Instead of installing dependencies repeatedly, I could simply use containers to run my projects efficiently. It also helped me to grasp concepts such as images, containers, and basic deployments.
Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted our organization or project by saving our time and energy. Additionally, we are learning about different types of deployments and how projects function in the real world.
Docker on Ubuntu has made collaboration easier, which has had a tangible positive impact on our project.
What needs improvement?
A challenge I face with Docker on Ubuntu is the learning curve, especially for beginners or when starting to learn Docker on Ubuntu, as sometimes I do not fully understand everything. Debugging can also be tricky, and I may struggle with understanding command line arguments and concepts.
I give Docker on Ubuntu an eight because it simplifies my project management, especially regarding the database handling and backend aspects. It has made things easier and has helped me learn modern development practices while saving time and improving our workflow. It does not get a ten because it is not beginner-friendly at the start, and it takes some time to fully understand.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Docker on Ubuntu for about eight to nine months, so approximately not a full year.
How was the initial setup?
Initially, installation on Ubuntu was quick and straightforward using a terminal command, and it did not take too much time.
What other advice do I have?
For anyone considering using Docker on Ubuntu, I recommend trying it at least once to understand your workflow better, especially regarding the database and backend aspects. It is easy to use, and I can access the free version at the beginner level, allowing for a valuable learning experience. I give Docker on Ubuntu a rating of eight out of ten.
Consistent containers have accelerated deployments and support automated multi-service workflows
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Docker on Ubuntu is containerizing applications to simplify deployment and ensure consistency across environments since I often need to switch between them.
A quick specific example of an application I have containerized using Docker on Ubuntu is testing application configurations across multi-service deployments using Docker Compose.
Using Docker Compose for those multi-service deployments helps with my workflow since it makes the deployment much easier as I can deploy all of my services in one single file.
I also use Docker on Ubuntu as part of automated workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
What is most valuable?
The best features Docker on Ubuntu offers are its strong points of portability, consistency across deployments, and ease of deployment.
Out of portability, consistency, and ease of deployment, I rely on consistency the most in my daily work since I often need to deploy the same image across different instances, so I need all of them to be exactly the same.
Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by helping a lot in shipping our applications since it is our main way of shipping them.
It has helped by reducing deployment times significantly since we basically configure the Docker on Ubuntu images to always have the same configuration, so we do not have to be constantly configuring those same settings since they are already configured by default in our images.
What needs improvement?
Docker on Ubuntu can be improved because it can get quite tricky, and the learning curve is quite steep, especially for beginners who are new to the concept of containerization.
I would also add that using Docker on Ubuntu by itself in complex deployments can be quite tricky without the use of orchestration tools, so the use of orchestration tools along with Docker on Ubuntu is kind of a must, and debugging can also be quite difficult.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Docker on Ubuntu for almost eight years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on Ubuntu is stable, very much so.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Docker on Ubuntu is scalable by itself, but it is even more scalable when used with orchestration tools like Kubernetes .
How are customer service and support?
I have never had to rely on customer support since I use the open-source version, but the community support is very strong.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before using Docker on Ubuntu, we relied on manual deployments, which is not a solution per se, and we switched to Docker on Ubuntu because of much faster deployments, the consistency across different deployments, and easier management.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that since Docker on Ubuntu itself is open source and free to use, I haven't had any experience with its pricing; the only pricing that comes with Docker on Ubuntu is the infrastructure, and if you opt for enterprise features.
What was our ROI?
I do not have any numbers, but shipping with Docker on Ubuntu has saved us countless hours, and therefore we can operate many more deployments with fewer engineers, so you save a lot in time and personnel.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Docker on Ubuntu, I did not evaluate other options.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Docker on Ubuntu is that Docker on Ubuntu is very powerful and vast, so getting to know the best practices, especially around security and networking, is a must to get the most value out of it. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Container workflows have accelerated demos and testing but still need broader library support
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Docker on Ubuntu for quite a long time, and it is not very specific to a certain time frame. I have been using the same product, Docker on Ubuntu, and I come from a free and open source perspective. I look for items on using Docker in that line, such as running some images and then observing how they are performing. To demonstrate or showcase something, I may use Docker on Ubuntu as a container to do that.
A positive aspect about Docker on Ubuntu that brings me the biggest benefit in the product is that container orchestration is very essential for the operating system. Nowadays, virtual aspects are quite important, and having Docker on Ubuntu makes for a very good functionality or feature set. If it is there, then we are good to go with it.
Regarding microservices management on the platform, I can create one small app or anything on that side and then avail that particular app in a container. This allows that service to be accessed by a particular team or individuals in the organization, enabling them to try it out in parallel and see how they are getting acquainted with it. Everything works well for testing purposes in that part.
Docker on Ubuntu's portability feature helps greatly with my development process. It enables users to get acquainted with the tool, try out all the possibilities, and see how it works for them. I am comfortable knowing that when they get acquainted with the product, I can hear a positive signal from them. That product acquaintance is facilitated by Docker on Ubuntu, allowing whichever microservices I am creating to be accessed immediately, thanks to the portability Docker on Ubuntu offers. Users across different operating systems can try it out and see if it is workable.
Access controls do help to improve application security on Ubuntu , focusing on Ubuntu security control. We go with the basic Linux administration security control system. We have not specifically tried container service architecture security in microservices, but it would be possible. Since we are already organized, the entire service security system takes care of everything. Therefore, we do not need to think about making it a microservices service to avail that on Docker on Ubuntu.
What is most valuable?
Docker on Ubuntu's portability feature helps greatly with my development process. It enables users to get acquainted with the tool, try out all the possibilities, and see how it works for them.

Users across different operating systems can try it out and see if it is workable.
Docker on Ubuntu features align well with continuous integration pipelines on Ubuntu. Continuous integration could be better; however, sometimes the crew or the people lack sufficient funds to try it out. From a Linux perspective, I need people to experience it in the first place, so it should not be an issue of funds restricting access to technology. We need to facilitate that. Docker on Ubuntu really helps in this respect, allowing free trials in various settings, such as kiosks or even railway stations, enabling users to hop in, look for something, and try it out.
What needs improvement?
Regarding areas for improvement in Docker on Ubuntu, I am using the open version only, not the commercial version of Docker on Ubuntu. Most occasions, certain libraries do not support this version as I miss that out. Moreover, various regions do not offer certain libraries, leading to portability issues. If those were part of Ubuntu, it would be easier for us. Since Docker on Ubuntu is already with Ubuntu, we would not have to worry about it. However, because I am using the community or open version of Docker on Ubuntu, there may be occasions where my requirements do not meet that.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Docker on Ubuntu for quite some time, about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on Ubuntu overall is stable; I have not faced downtime or latency issues so far. To my knowledge, initial delays only arise through various versions that are available. Considering the open source side and using the community edition of Docker on Ubuntu, certain settings or features may not be possible or would be limited compared to the commercial version, but otherwise, it has been fine so far.
How was the initial setup?
I would say it is easy to install Docker on Ubuntu; I have had no significant problems with installation. It has become easier since I am using it regularly. However, in certain countries, they lack specific libraries, leading to dependency issues when we go for Docker on Ubuntu on top. Despite that, I feel it is generally okay. App images, which are also popular, sometimes become similar to Docker on Ubuntu, so we would love to include Docker on Ubuntu in it and run it off. All these factors will work out well when Ubuntu offers everything together with Docker on Ubuntu without portability concerns.
What other advice do I have?
My experience today with Ubuntu is that it was sometimes Ubuntu, sometimes a different operating system. Whatever the requirement wants, then accordingly I may go by it.
Docker on Ubuntu definitely saves me time; it helps a lot. I can quickly set something up, and people will experience it and decide if they can proceed with the solution or my model. For them to get an immediate feel of this, Docker on Ubuntu really helps, and since it is free, it allows easy access and showcasing.
I have something to compare Docker on Ubuntu to, as I have tried several options for containers such as Ubuntu and Docker on Ubuntu. Various container systems even exist in Linux itself, but Docker on Ubuntu stands out in terms of user-friendliness. It provides easy porting for applications of any size, allowing me to host it anywhere and avail the services. Thus, I usually prefer Docker on Ubuntu as the best option.
I have given this review an overall rating of 7 out of 10.
Modern containerization has transformed development workflows and has improved CI CD efficiency
What is our primary use case?
One of those containerized projects is the monitoring stack build, which includes Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana , and it is a really quick thing to run, install, and test. I am using it mainly for tests around the monitoring.
There are actually multiple use cases during my career with Docker on Ubuntu . It was building containers in the CI/CD, and Ubuntu instances actually ran Docker and all the builds and pushed the artifacts to the registries. There were use cases with the projects themselves being containerized, and all various cases. Pretty much everything in modern Linux ecosystems requires Docker .
What is most valuable?
Process isolation has helped me in my work for many reasons, such as the ability to give a specific amount of resources to a process, and the fact that a process does not interfere with other processes. There are multiple advantages to this, but this is generally a container thing.
There are actually great multiple things about the features of Docker on Ubuntu. If we take Ubuntu desktop and Docker desktop, we can see that it has a really great application with many features, including Kubernetes integration, CVE scanning, an easy to install and easy to use UI, the image manager, and all of these things. Docker is super powerful with modern Linux, especially with the industry standard such as Ubuntu.
Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to be a modern company that uses a modern architecture approach. It is difficult to do this without Docker.
The impact of Docker on Ubuntu includes improvements in speed, efficiency, and resource management, especially noticeable in our CI/CD pipelines. If we build the containers, it is much easier to distribute our application. It is much easier to install, configure, scale, and do pretty much everything. Without this proper containerization, the projects would work worse, there would be fewer options for deployment, and so on.
What needs improvement?
I would not add more about the needed improvements as it is difficult to tell. There are no improvements needed for Docker on Ubuntu that I have not mentioned.
For how long have I used the solution?
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
How are customer service and support?

What was our ROI?
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
I do not have any additional thoughts about Docker on Ubuntu before we wrap up. I would rate this product with a review rating of ten.
