    Usability
    Docker, Inc
    I have been using Docker for more than 3 years and it really simplifies the modern application development and deployment. I like the ability of Docker to improve efficiency, portability and scalability for developers and operations teams. Another reason for giving this rating is because Docker integrates CI/CD pipelines very well

    Docker, Inc
    • Reduces the number of virtual machine which impacted our quarterly billing

    • impact on billing is we have to provide docker training to the people who are working on it.
