Considered Both Products	Mirantis Fazeel Usmani Software Engineer in Engineering at VINUTHNA INFOSYSTEMS PRIVATE LIMITED (Computer & Network Security, 11-50 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine I didn’t select Mirantis Cloud Native Suite (Docker Enterprise) when I joined this organisation it was already being used here. The one thing I can say about Mirantis Cloud Native Suite (Docker Enterprise) is easy to use and creates a good impact in the businesses. So, I … Incentivized Helpful? Anuj Rai Senior Associate Technology in Information Technology at Synechron (Information Technology & Services, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine So far I haven't used any other containerized product except Docker Enterprise because in terms of community support and tutorial videos, Docker has a better reach than other tools. Docker can be easily set up from local to the cloud without worrying about the flavor of OS … Incentivized Helpful? Carol Aleman Software Engineering Manager in Engineering at Third Bridge Group Limited (Information Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine I have not used any other software as a container management solution. Its containerized apps allow the usage of less memory, thus they start and shut down very fast. This tool is helping the enterprise software to work quickly against the changing conditions thus offers great Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine I have heard about others, but all my professional life I have been using Docker as my primary container and the thing is you just don't need anything else right now. Because Kubernetes supports Docker and Docker is open-source and just very simple to get started with. 10 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine I have used Vagrant for consistent development environments as well. It is a more "heavyweight" solution since it's a complete virtual machine that requires a host like VirtualBox in order to run. With Docker, the container is much more lightweight and just requires the docker … Incentivized Helpful? Matt James Junior Systems Administrator \| POS Programming Specialist in Information Technology at AIKG LLC (Entertainment, 501-1000 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine FreeNAS, I don't wish to bad mouth any product but it appeared that iXsystems just did not want to help their users or attempt to resolve issues. It looks good on paper and it worked well for me for about 4 years until I needed more support and a more complex and bigger … Incentivized Helpful? David Tanner Senior Software Engineer in Engineering at LifeOmic (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 51-200 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker has become the defacto service, as far as I have seen, to run Linux or other tools on any OS and architecture and get the same output. I have used Vagrant in the past, but it was much more complicated to use. Docker is very common among developers, so documentation and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Dockers isn't a replacement for VMWare or VirtualBox in all cases. It's fundamentally a different way to solve the development problem. We use Docker when we need a lightweight, fast development scaffold. We use other virtualization solutions if we need GUI access or need a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine I would also compare to BSD Jails, LXC, and Solaris Zones, but they weren't listed. One of the first reasons we decided to use Docker over other container applications is because Docker is the default everyone recommends and is easily the most popular. We found Docker to be … Incentivized Helpful? Ben Lachman Co Founder in Engineering at Potential Labs (Consumer Electronics, 1-10 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker provides less lock in and more portability than Heroku. You can also easily self host or choose a Docker hosting service. Additionally, there is a wide availability of Docker containers where Heroku build packs are somewhat more limited. Heroku offers a more turnkey … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine We've used XAMPP, PHPmyAdmin and similar local environments (our app is on PHP). Because of how easy you can change the configuration of libraries on PHP and versions (which is SO painful on XAMPP or other friendly LAMP local servers) we are using Docker right now. Also, being … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker isn’t a buzz word. It has promising return on investment and a bright future ahead backed up by the open source community. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Prior to docker, we had a custom build and deployment system. For local development, we use VirtualBox to host our VMs, while our custom VMs resided directly on the servers. We chose Docker primarily to allow us to get rid of our custom deployment system, both simplifying build … Incentivized Helpful? Nic Raboy Senior Developer Advocate in Engineering at Couchbase (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker is great because of how the Docker Runtime works and how it eliminates the need to have the full operating system overhead that you'd find in a virtual machine (VM), keeping things lightweight and compatible regardless of where you go. Having an isolated, full Linux … Incentivized Helpful? Vlad VARNA Senior Software engineer in Engineering at BullGuard (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine For light weight frontends, the Docker Swarm is the easiest to manage. One person can then mange the production environment and at the same time develop new software. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Dentino Founder in Engineering at finbox.io (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine While Ansible and Docker focus on solving two different problems, we were previously using Ansible to ensure that all dependencies were automatically setup on new servers and that proper configuration was applied when new nodes were brought up. With docker, most of these … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine While we still use virtual machines [for our Docker servers], we prefer Docker containers for our deployments. It really allows for a simpler infrastructure footprint to manage. For example, instead of managing 30 virtual machines with one or two apps on each VM, we could … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine I had to use virtual machines before, the last one was VirtualBox. I was only a user there, I wasn't responsible for the configuration, it was a black box for me. When I had to use Docker for the first time I was a skeptic, but it proved to be easy. I can't really compare the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Doocker lacks a lot of the scaling, automation, integration of 3rd party tools/solutions, and integration of shared high-performance self-healing storage, solutions like Heketi provide those missing pieces. Incentivized Helpful? Eric Mann Tekton in Engineering at Tozny (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker runs both locally and on the server, whereas VirtualBox is only used locally to create a development environment. Docker gives us the ability to have the exact same environment both in the cloud and on individual developers' laptops. There are no surprises for the team, … Incentivized Helpful? Anudeep Palanki Software Developer in Information Technology at Monsanto Company (Farming, 10,001+ employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Vagrant is another software that offers similar [features that] stack to Docker. It offers an isolated container similar to Docker but Docker is lighter weight because it does not have the additional overhead of a VM Container. Docker has a much larger community of developers … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker is a different beast in that it is not trying to solve all of your infrastructure problems or most of them, it is simply trying to provide a reliable container serviced based on linux containers in which you can easily and quickly deploy microservices. LXD does provide … Incentivized Helpful? Jesse Bye DevOps Engineer in Engineering at Riskalyze (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker doesn't directly compare to very many other services. It is unique in its field. However, I love how fast Docker services spin up in comparison to VM-based or server-based applications. Docker is being adopted at a fast rate in the industry, so it's great to see Docker … Incentivized Helpful? Adam Eivy Solutions Engineering Architect in Corporate at The Walt Disney Company (Entertainment, 10,001+ employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Before Docker, we were using Chef to manage our deployments. Chef didn't provide the environmental consistency and release confidence we needed. We had a split process between how the build servers, the developers and the deployed environments were managing the software … Incentivized Helpful? Brad Magyar Programmer Analyst in Information Technology at National Inventors Hall of Fame (Museums and Institutions, 51-200 employees) Chose Mirantis Kubernetes Engine Docker is more developed and easier to work with.
