Great article.
My understanding of Docker is quite new, so take my remarks with a grain of salt.
One thing I would emphasise in the first paragraph is that you need at least other provisioning/configuration tools to set up the servers where the docker containers will be deployed to. I know it would obvious to most, but you would still need to start/stop these machines with correct docker install, firewalls rules, and probably more. The VM layer has been flushed out, but still exists and needs attention.
After spending more than a week looking into Docker, my one frustration with Docker is that I have not found a way to correctly develop with it. Most of the docs I see are about deploying established apps, but I would love to see tutorials about how to develop, and start from scratch with it. Does Docker stand in your way when developing or does it make it easier? Maybe a solution is to create docker wrappers for our favourite framework that would abstract Docker. Anyways, I'd love to see more on this.
