Docker on CentOS 8: A great tool but struggling due to End-of Life cycle
What do you like best about the product?
- Docker simplifies application deployment and management using containerization, which helps with consistency across platforms in all environments.
- Using the official package manager of Yum it's very easy to install and use Docker on CentOs 8.
- The community has great resources that can solve almost all problems faced during troubleshooting.
- Docker is one of the very critical tools in my tech stack because it helped me with building the Ci/Cd pipeline and having smooth deployment and rollbacks if necessary.
- With additional features like Docker Compose and Docker Swarm it's very easy to use, deploy, and manage multiple services.

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.
