Containers gain popularity
The following is globally a summary of what I hear from customers and students:
- Faster developer onboarding: Container-based development
- Easy to run and test on dev machines: Great for simulating production
- Faster release cycles and shorter time to fix bugs: No more monolithic deployments
- Better quality software: Consistent images across all environments
- It is too hard to manage microservices without them: Stacks are great for isolation and deployment
- Easier to support legacy web applications: Containerize old apps and manage them on a modern platform
- Reduction of VMware tax: Better use of compute resources through increased density and consolidation of multiple non-prod environments (using Docker Enterprise RBAC)
Even the free stuff will cost you something:
I am closing this section on a practical note by suggesting your initial operational savings will be offset by the investment required to transform your enterprise to a container platform. When done right, the impact of container adoption impacts a broad group within the enterprise, spanning the entire software development and delivery pipeline. Like any transformation worth doing, there is some investment required. More about the impact of container adoption later.
