The AGIX team of technicians has plenty of experience in deploying Docker containers and has written plenty of Kubernetes articles in the AGIX technical block which is freely available to anyone interested in DIY computing.
Kubernetes & Docker Case Study
More systems are being distributed by Docker containers (images) in recent times due to the reliability and consistency of such a distribution method. AGIX clients often request new systems which can easily and quickly be deployed using Docker.
The time saved by using Docker compared with traditional distribution and deployment methods is considerable, and the money savings is significant.
