Containerization has simplified multi-layer app deployment and accelerated project delivery

  • December 28, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Docker on Ubuntu is containerization of my projects and running the containerized application packages.

For example, when I build an application that has multiple layers, such as an application with a front-end, back-end, and database layer, I create a Docker image that pulls all of the information and then pull the image on a Ubuntu environment where I use to host. In that way, I just build the Docker image so every part of the program is there, and I can use the Docker image to spin everything in one go.

Docker on Ubuntu is deployed in all of these situations including AWS cloud, private cloud, and some on-premises installations.

What is most valuable?

The best features Docker on Ubuntu offers are the ability to containerize things and the ability to configure things easily using YAML files, along with the vast amount of repositories that I get access to.

Easy configuration with YAML files and access to a vast amount of repositories has helped me since whenever I want to add more layers to Docker on Ubuntu, I can just edit the Docker config file and add more layers or a new storage layer easily. It is really simple to orchestrate the whole system using just a simple YAML file. Regarding the vast amount of repositories and collaboration, people can publish their own Docker images, and all of those are available for pulling into my project or using those projects, allowing for a vast amount of collaboration space.

Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by saving us a lot of time during preparations for hosting and helping us install many simple pre-packaged Docker installations of applications we use, such as n8n.

What needs improvement?

Improvement for Docker on Ubuntu could involve making it more user-friendly, potentially by having a wizard for non-technical users. When I started, I found it difficult to understand the syntax of the YAML and configuration files. A dedicated wizard or UI to build the Docker image would be really helpful for usability and UX scenarios; otherwise, it is all good, and I think it is perfect as it is.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Docker on Ubuntu for more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Docker on Ubuntu is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Docker on Ubuntu is acceptable and good.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had a chance to engage with customer support, but the community support is really good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, I used to port everything and set up everything manually without a solution, but now with Docker on Ubuntu, it is really saving us time.

How was the initial setup?

I purchased Docker on Ubuntu through the AWS Marketplace.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment by saving time, although I do not have exact metrics on hand.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Docker on Ubuntu is that it was free to use.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Docker on Ubuntu, I did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others looking into using Docker on Ubuntu is to learn its possibilities and use it to make your life easier by exploring what it can do. I have rated this review a ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Containerization has simplified microservices testing and improves secure application delivery

  • December 23, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I do have experience with Docker on Ubuntu. I have used Docker for testing in production; however, I haven't worked with Docker on Ubuntu directly. I have also used K3s, the mini Kubernetes distribution, for educational and testing purposes.

What is most valuable?

The overall main point of Docker on Ubuntu is the ability to have just what you need to run your application instead of having a complete server with all the libraries and security configurations. Docker on Ubuntu allows you to use a container with the specific application that you need to solve your problem. That is the real power of Docker on Ubuntu.

Microservices management on Ubuntu platforms is very powerful because you can split the components into microservices. I have to be honest; I'm not an expert in microservices architecture. I know the main concepts, but I don't have very deep knowledge in this architecture.

What needs improvement?

The area for improvement with Docker on Ubuntu is normally the complexity of the networking or DNS. It is completely complex to understand the networking in Docker on Ubuntu and Kubernetes clusters, as well as the ephemeral nature of the network and storage, which are topics that need to be understood very well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience to discuss Docker on Ubuntu and can share my thoughts about it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Docker on Ubuntu features align completely with my continuous integration pipelines on Ubuntu. In some cases, Docker on Ubuntu is not enough for all the complexity of the applications, and I have to go to the next level with Kubernetes. However, depending on the kind of application, it is enough for some companies. In some cases, companies feel very frustrated because they cannot scale, and when they want to scale, they face the complexity of Kubernetes, and the cost on AWS, Azure, or any other platform is not cheaper than they think. The suitability depends on the kind of organization; it's not for all companies.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service for Docker on Ubuntu and their technical support are pretty good, especially since the documentation is pretty robust. The company behind Ubuntu, Canonical, is a community project, and they provide a lot of documentation and very good support. I have worked a couple of times with the team from Canonical, and they are very proficient in technical matters.

How would you rate customer service and support?

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I find the pricing for Docker on Ubuntu is not expensive because basically, it is zero. The cost is much more related to the knowledge and experience that people need, which means cost because not all engineers have experience with this platform. For me, it is zero, but in normal implementations, it could be costly as there are not many people experienced with this platform here in Colombia.

What other advice do I have?

Docker on Ubuntu access controls do help improve application security on Ubuntu, but Docker on Ubuntu per se is not safe because many software and products were conceived thinking of the solution to the problem they were trying to solve. It is necessary to harden the platform because it is not naturally safe. My overall review rating for Docker on Ubuntu is ten out of ten.

Container workflow has reduced deployment effort but still faces cost and pricing challenges

  • December 19, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I develop on-premise but then deliver to AWS and in the cloud in EC2 instances. All development and technical development is done on Linux rather than Windows. The production deployment into AWS is done to a Linux instance.

What is most valuable?

I use Docker a lot, especially during production deliveries. I deliver development that runs in a Docker container. Docker is very convenient because it abstracts away all the problems by containerizing everything. It contains all of the requirements into one container for ease of use and easy deployment.

Docker streamlines things and makes it easier for testing and development. With full automation, it cuts my deployment and testing time at least in half. I have been using Docker for a long time and continue to use it. Docker is the heart of many AI tools that are used, and I have an AI workstation that uses Docker to package up certain capabilities for AI engineering.

What needs improvement?

Docker has already integrated AI models into their platform and has covered most of the necessary features. They continuously release new versions of Docker. While Docker itself has no cost, the Docker repository and Docker Hub could improve their pricing, especially for startup companies.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Docker for a long time.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not experienced any stability issues. I run and build Docker containers and then deploy them.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had any reason to contact support. The documentation is good, especially when using AI tools that utilize Docker's information for support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What other advice do I have?

I work with Linux, but not that particular module, mainly in EC2 instances. I use Ubuntu Linux out of the box and do not use Red Hat, especially at the enterprise level. It is convenient and easy since Linux is well supported. Everything is containerized, which is why I use the ECR pieces up in AWS to build containers and put them in the repository.

I work with APIs and consider the best ways to implement them, including JWTs and third-party Okta integration. The A in LAMP stands for Angular, and I do a lot of coding and projects with Angular. Mongo is the heart of our database system. LAMP stack means Linux, Angular, and Mongo. I use AWS Marketplace for different things, including MongoDB connections inside AWS. This review has a rating of 2 out of 10.
