Containerization has streamlined deployments and now requires clearer lifecycle and orchestration
Reviewed on Dec 29, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
We use Docker on CentOS to build, package, and run containerized applications on on-premises and VM-based Linux servers. It is primarily used by our DevOps and platform teams, supporting multiple applications across environments. These teams manage container infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines as their major responsibility.
What is most valuable?
The best features Docker on CentOS offers are container isolation, image-based packaging, and portability across different environments.
Portability has made the biggest difference for our team. Since we can containerize and port our applications across different environments easily, it has made our workflow significantly smoother.
These features of Docker on CentOS simplified our application deployment lifecycle and reduced environment inconsistencies that we experienced before implementing it.
We can see faster deployments and reduced environment-related issues since adopting Docker on CentOS. It has truly simplified the application packaging and release process.
What needs improvement?
Docker on CentOS needs native orchestration and lifecycle management, which are currently limited. Teams eventually need Kubernetes or similar platforms at scale to manage containerization effectively. Additionally, better long-term OS lifecycle clarity would be beneficial. CentOS deprecation introduces uncertainty for long-lived environments, so improved long-term OS lifecycle clarity would be helpful overall.
Docker on CentOS is solid for legacy or existing environments, but new deployments should consider newer distributions and Kubernetes-native runtimes to align better with the current container ecosystem direction.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Docker on CentOS for multiple years in production environments.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on CentOS has been stable, performant, and well-suited for enterprise Linux environments. However, CentOS lifecycle changes and the industry shift towards Kubernetes and containerd reduce its long-term strategic relevance.
What other advice do I have?
CentOS provides a stable, enterprise-grade OS that is well-aligned with Docker workloads, which is how we use it with our applications. We purchased Docker on CentOS through the AWS Marketplace . I would rate Docker on CentOS overall at seven out of ten.

Containerization has accelerated our CI/CD pipelines and improves time to market
Reviewed on Dec 05, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Docker on CentOS for two years.
My main use case for Docker on CentOS is in my CI/CD pipeline.
A specific example of how I use Docker on CentOS in my CI/CD process is that we use it to containerize and deploy applications.
We also use it for machine learning pipelines.
What is most valuable?
The best features Docker on CentOS offers me are the Docker repository.
What I like most about the Docker repository is that it is easy to access and deploy.
Docker on CentOS has positively impacted my organization by improving our time to market. It helps with our time to market because we use it so fast to deploy applications across our company.
What needs improvement?
I don't know how Docker on CentOS can be improved, and I don't wish to add more about the needed improvements or anything I wish it could do better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on CentOS is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Docker on CentOS's scalability is good enough.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Negative
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution before Docker on CentOS.
What was our ROI?
I have not seen metrics for a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is good enough.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Docker on CentOS, I did not evaluate other options.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Docker on CentOS is to try it and use it. I would rate this review as a 9.

Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I don't have any specific use case with Dell PowerEdge. I work with it as a server where we install software and run Red Hat Enterprise.
I work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8, but I don't specifically use Red Hat OpenShift or Red Hat JBoss.
What is most valuable?
Docker on CentOS has improved my organization positively. The benefits are significant as it is easy to operate and maintain, making it more flexible. You can change any service in the system, delete or remove the service port, and create new ones.
What needs improvement?
It is difficult for me to suggest improvements because the current functionality meets my needs.
To achieve a higher rating of 9 or 10, they might need more automation features.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on CentOS is quite stable. I would rate it 8 or 9 out of 10.
How are customer service and support?
I rate their support as a partner. We purchase the software and product from them, so when I have an issue with Red Hat or Docker on CentOS or Kubernetes , I create a ticket with the partner who works directly with the respective teams.
I have experience with their support through a few cases requiring Red Hat assistance. I go through our software partner who communicates with the Red Hat team, and they communicate with Docker on CentOS or Kubernetes team to resolve issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Docker on CentOS is not too difficult. We can accomplish it very generally.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't have experience with Docker on CentOS pricing. Since Docker on CentOS, Kubernetes, and Red Hat are open source, I believe the cost is only applicable for support services.
What other advice do I have?
I don't have experience with Dell PowerStore as I haven't worked with it. I am not familiar with PowerStore or its function.
I haven't worked with Dell Data Protection or DPA . My experience is limited to servers, switches, and EMC Unity storage.
The orchestration and CI/CD process relates to the architecture engineer and solution architecture.
I rate Docker on CentOS an 8 out of 10.

What do you dislike about the product?
- One of the biggest downsides of using docker with CentOs 8 is the archived version now because it stopped getting security updates after the end of 2021 which makes it a security threat for production use.
- Docker in itself is a complicated product that can take a while to understand and sometimes can be hard to understand OS-specific issues if occur for a beginner.
- Docker is great in performance but there were specific incidents in the past where I faced performance overhead and it took a while to figure out the issue because it required both docker and CentOs 8 in-depth knowledge to debug.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Docker is great tool for software development and deployment and CentOs 8 is easy to use OS in that regards where I could install docker and deploy it on other platforms without worry about compatibility because docker can take care it of for me.
- Packaging complex applications which are in different tech stack but could easily be containerised and deploy.
- Having easy support with other big tools like Jenkin, Kuberneters etc helped me test and deploy my application much more easily on other platforms which reduced a lot of overhead of figuring out a OS which can support all major tools.
- The big thing is solved for me is management of application deployment and increase feature deployment speed which is critical for small size team.
