Docker on CentOS has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to deliver identical solutions to development and production environments, making it easier to deploy new versions, debug versions that we have in other environments, and utilize many pre-built images available in Docker Hub and the official Docker registry.

I think there are sometimes issues with CentOS systems as such regarding Docker; it misbehaves sometimes.

Docker on CentOS could be improved by delivering the latest versions faster because CentOS does not always deliver the latest versions of Docker.

Crashes are the main issue I see. I realize that when it comes to disk space utilization, it really goes up so fast, and the main issue comes from running out of space; that is when crashes happen, and that is the only thing I have seen as an area for improvement in Docker.

Docker sometimes has some network-related issues, such as the host network not working, so we switch to a different type of network, and regarding CentOS, we are not using any support since it is freeware, relying only on documentation which serves as our support.

Docker on CentOS can be improved by using the Terraform creation, pointing for a smaller CentOS version that we can create to just take exactly what we need to consume in our image.
