Weekly Poll Results

In this week's poll we asked users what their preferred containerization tool is. Unsurprisingly, Docker commanded the podium with just shy of 80% of the votes. The rest were scattered across Kubernetes, Podman, and LXC. Several users submitted comments identifying the complexities and lack of documentation for Docker alternatives as the primary reasoning for their aversion to non-Docker tools.
