Senior Software Engineer in Engineering at LifeOmic (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • The OSX management tool is simple to use.
  • It is nice to be able to use custom repositories.
  • The service runs mostly in the background now, and I don't have to tinker with it .

Cons

  • Sometimes issues arise running images, that are only cleared by removing the cache and restarting the OSX app.
  • It is easy to build up a lot of containers that aren't being used, and you have to manually clear them up.
  • It would be nice to have a better graphical interface to see what is going on internally.

Return on Investment

  • Using Docker and different layers lessens security risk.
  • Deployments are repeatable so we don't have to waste time fixing older builds that might break.
  • Docker keeps developers up and running with minimal downtime.
