Well then you're basically using VMs as your containerization mechanism, with install scripts replacing Dockerfiles.
So from your perspective, don't think of Docker as a really fat binary. Think of it as a stripped-down VM that doesn't cost a minimum of $5 per instance, and comes in a standardized format with a standardized ecosystem around it (package registries, monitoring dashboards, etc.)
