Docker requires more updated libraries than yum-utils. I've tested yum-utils in a new Virtual Machine without updating any libs, and couldn't get docker working. For new environments this is a better command and for any environment.

This looks to be addressing different goals;

 sudo yum install -y yum-utils

Is added here to make sure yum-config-manager is installed (which is used below).

yum upgrade will update / upgrade all packages and dependencies installed on the machine. While this could be a good recommendation, this would be somewhat out of scope for the installation instructions.

What's the exact problem you ran into? Did the installation fail, or did it warn that a newer version of a dependency was needed?
