I would suggest others ask about improving the support for database and consider the structure of the applications. Some highly customized applications might require extra effort. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is a good solution.

We are providing the solution to our customers. The solution is suitable for mid-range products. If we have enterprise solutions, we must choose Kubernetes-based solutions. We provide software as a service. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

People have heard about OpenShift a lot. People have heard about Tanzu a lot, but these solutions are too expensive. Mirantis does the same job, and it has a history of being a part of Docker. I don't think anyone can do containers better than Docker. Therefore, you should totally consider Mirantis. You don't even have to pay that much.

We have to do a lot of marketing for Mirantis because certain customers had not even heard about Mirantis. There's a huge gap in the market. We are trying to create more awareness, but it's a great solution. It is as good as any other containerized platform. So, I'd definitely recommend trying it out.

The most important feature that I would focus on is Mirantis OpenStack. OpenStack is an open-source platform, but Mirantis has an enterprise version for it.

In terms of the use case and what it provides, when you compare it with the rest of the solutions in the market, it's a 10 out of 10. OpenShift does a great job; Tanzu does a great job; and Rancher does a great job. Mirantis is as good as any other product. Like any other product, they have to keep on working on security. It's an ongoing journey.

I recommend using Docker. The most important thing is that you review your internal capability building before using this product. 

  • Look at what kind of skill sets are currently in the organization. 
  • Make sure that everybody understands what Docker means before implementing. 
  • Up-skill them and make sure that everybody understands why Docker is important in the scheme of things. 

Some organizations may think that Docker doesn't fit their culture. In general, I think that Docker is a good fit for 80% of the organizations that I've seen.

Internal capability building is the other thing that is very important in the setup. You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment. 

For security aspects, we need to make sure that the security and monitoring for Docker are always in operation. 

I would rate this product a 7.5 out of ten because it solved many of my problems. If you're a developer, it's easy to understand. It is the way a developer should develop and deploy in the current environment, especially in a container-driven world.

I recommended the tech guys that haven't used it so far, or if their company is still using the transitional infrastructure, they should give it a try.

If you were to use Mirantis for the first time, I would really advise you just to look into the basics of understanding containers in general, anc realize that Mirantis is an abstraction or a way or runtime to run your containers. It is an industry-wide standard now, when it comes to distributing the images, but that's also shifting now to OCI images. I would advise looking into other container runtimes as well, and keep your vision broad and try to make conscious decisions rather than being biased and just following the herd.

I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten because it has really educated users. It created a lot of shift in the industry for using containers. I feel it's stable because it hasn't crashed very much in my experience. The reason I gave this a little bit of a lower number while saying good things about it, is because I don't like how the community' is responding nowadays, especially collaborating with other bigger communities. One of the examples is Kubernetes, for example. There was a backlash and they couldn't agree to stuff. It's really a big thing at the moment, and it will be for the next couple of years.

You have support for multiple configurations. Let's say you need a service that uses a SQL database; perhaps you require another well-known SQL database. With Mirantis Container Cloud, you can configure all these in one place. Additionally, these services can connect seamlessly. You can specify the ports on which they connect in a single configuration file, consolidating all settings in one central location.

All these cloud platforms—Google, Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and others—offer a managed Docker environment.

We are also using Mirantis Container Cloud for development. It simplifies the setup needed for your project. Instead of installing various components individually on your Windows or IOS, such as a SQL database, a NoSQL database, DocIQ, with Docker, you can install everything within Docker containers. This keeps your project setup separate from your computer's environment. It's really convenient, if you need to transition to a different project with different requirements. You can simply discard the Docker images associated with the previous project and install the new ones for the new project. This process doesn't affect your computer, whether it's running Windows, Mac, Linux, or any other operating system.

It's a great solution. It's designed to handle complex, demanding, and scalable applications. Occasionally, these issues can be challenging to investigate, necessitating support intervention. I recommend this solution.

If you would like to scale your application to get millions of end users. It offers the biggest scalability.

Mirantis is simplifying their setup, stability and the easy use of configuration.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

It's a very good application. You don't need to do anything. Just deploy it, run it, and then it does all the work by itself. It's a piece of cake for someone new. If I'm a DevOps engineer, I don't need to worry about anything. I just have to run a command and it shows the errors. Then, I pass it to the other team and they look into it.

It's easy and straightforward to do the deployments. Before, we had to do the manual container when it comes to deployment. Now, you just make an image and then run it by using the commands.

My advice is in regards to the security. Many of my customers do not care enough about security, they have a disbelief that once you are in a cloud, you are automatically secure. This sis not the case at all. You need to understand that nothing is guaranteed if you do not follow the right rules. You need proper monitoring tools to keep the work-site safe and secure. It may cost the customer more, but it is worth every penny.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to read the documentation very carefully. That can give a lot of relief when the client needs a solution.

If Docker had a graphical user interface then it would be a perfect solution.

I would rate this solution and eight out of ten.

I think that Docker is the best among its peers. Creating, downloading, uploading, and sharing images is faster than doing the same on something like Vagrant.

When using Docker on the Mac, I only used it to create a local development environment. I also have a Docker installation running in production on a production environment being used as the backend for an iOS app.

I would advise people to take the Lynda course on Docker. In my experience, the documentation only becomes useful after understanding the basics and the general idea.
