Alpine Linux with Docker
What do you like best?
This weakening of security is not necessary to do with Alpine 3.4.x and Docker 1.12 and the easy documentation provided on their site.
What do you dislike?
Very often we came across the message "WARNING: No {swap,memory} limit support". Support is still limited and it gets difficult to troubleshoot any ongoing issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating containerised solution for applications which are specificon the alpine linux nd related tech stack.
Lightweight and stable
What do you like best?
A lightweight Docker image means that my development image is not bloated with unnecessary software. As a frontend developer, I find the startup times to be the fastest.
What do you dislike?
We sometimes have to install additional packages needed to run our development environment. This is usually straightforward and is documented well on the internet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a full-stack web application developer, I use Apline Linux with my Docker setup to run a local copy of our app which is used to collaborate, create and test new features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it. It's the best out there, when it comes to a lightweight Linux image.
Linux docker
What do you like best?
Alpine linux size is the most amazing feature with storage and easy to install .
What do you dislike?
Repository features which require filesystem to be edited for the issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great in ease of use for the perfomance and I/O failures which overcomes the slowness issues .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's better with size and easy to use as considering other operation system available .

Benefits of Alpine Linux.Try It!
What do you like best?
This is the best option to use for OS layer for users that are currently using Docker. Alpine Linux will reduce the image size. Alpine Linux is good in containers and very secure. You can also load package history from a previous state in the case you need to revert to a working version.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes Alpine Linux has bugs, and sometimes the build times are delayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use applications for package pinning to keep code reliable and stable. I cam also use this install, upgrade, and remove packaging as well. I also use Docket to run processes with restricted permissions, with restricted resources, with tight network policies, and more
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is great for lightweight and small containers. I would highly recommend for those working in the technology field.
Senior DevOps Engineer
What do you like best?
As compared to all other container images, the size of the alpine image is significantly less that means the alpine docker image is light in weight
What do you dislike?
some of the Linux tools/applications not supported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
earlier my image was taking more storage because of that, we needed to add external volume in our Linux machine, but once we moved all containers with alpine images, that issue resolved
Recommendations to others considering the product:
yes, anyone who wants to migrate their application from VMs based to the container than I will suggest using the alpine image as a base image
Works fine
Works as expected. Had some issues to ssh into the VM at the beginning.
What I missed was that the user is 'ec2-user'.
Setup a separate security group for ssh on my IP and it worked like charme.
No access
Concur with previous; no way to login with key, password, etc. Was unable to use at all, but had to pay for 1h of use.
