Everything that can be said about how Docker is transforming IT environments has already been said. It’s great…life changing, even — (although we’re still experiencing some challenges with it). We use Docker in production for most services. It eases configuration management, control issues, and scaling by allowing containers to be moved from one place to another.

​

We have developed our SaaS solution with a twelve-layer pipeline of data processing. Together with Jenkins and Docker, we have been able to run a full pipeline across all layers on a single Mac. It would be wrong to say that there aren’t any complications with Docker, as even small containers can take a significant amount of time to build. However, we want to ensure that our developers are as satisfied as possible and enable them to work rapidly. With all of the management involved in storage, security, networking — and everything surrounding containers — this can be a challenge.

​

We see Docker progressing and look forward to welcoming the company’s new management and orchestration solutions. For those who might be having issues with Docker, we’ve also compiled a list of challenges and solutions when migrating to Docker.
