Hey everyone! I'm curious to know if anyone has real-world experience using Docker in non-software development corporate settings. What business environments are you operating in, and how are you implementing Docker? I'm looking to upskill and want to gauge whether it's worth my time, especially since I suspect Docker isn't widespread in typical corporate offices. Thanks!

In a lot of corporate settings, if they're running software, Docker can come into play. For instance, my Fortune 500 company employs containers for scalable applications that require agile development. It's a useful skill to have, especially as more companies move towards it, so upskilling could definitely benefit you.
You're mistaken—Docker is pretty common in various corporate contexts. Many businesses that host software are utilizing containers. It's definitely worth exploring as it enhances deployment efficiency and simplifies management.
Can you give me some examples of how those businesses use Docker?
Many of us are using Docker for various internal applications, whether it's hosting websites or even services like vulnerability assessment tools. It really streamlines updates and maintenance, making life easier for developers and sysadmins alike!
What specific applications do you containerize in your company?

I see your point, but I have a long priority list for upskilling. I'll consider it!
