Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Docker
- Shared kernel creates security vulnerabilities when containers share the same OS kernel that can bypass container isolation
- Daemon socket exposure grants full root access to the host if compromised
- Requires careful secrets management - credentials embedded in images or environment variables are easily harvested by attackers
- Resource management complexity - misbehaving or compromised containers can consume all resources causing denial of service
- Orchestration complexity - Docker Swarm is less capable than Kubernetes, requiring external tools for production deployments

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Docker: What is Docker pricing?
Docker offers a freemium model with Docker Personal free, Docker Pro at $11/user/month, Docker Team at $16/user/month, and Docker Business at $24/user/month. Each tier includes Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout with different usage limits.
SourceDocker: Can I use Docker in production?
Yes. Docker is used extensively in production environments. However, for container orchestration at scale, Kubernetes is typically paired with Docker to automate deployment, scaling, and management across clusters.
SourceDocker: What are the main security concerns with Docker?
Key security risks include container breakout vulnerabilities through shared kernel exploits, daemon socket exposure that grants root access if compromised, weak isolation between containers, and credential leakage if secrets are embedded in images.
SourceDocker: Does Docker integrate with CI/CD systems?
Yes. Docker integrates with Jenkins, GitHub, and other CI/CD systems. The typical workflow involves GitHub repositories triggering automated builds in Jenkins, which prepare Dockerfiles and push images to Docker Hub for deployment.
