Learning Ansible really well proved far more valuable to my work life. I integrate lots stuff, stuff like OpenVPN, Asterisk, Freeswitch, stuff that can hardly be "contained" and still even work. Some stuff does not work in containers, and even if it does work, dealing with the weird filesystem mounts, "statelessness", locations of logs and other persistent data, and the ethos of just using 1 process per container and so on and so forth.
Then think about deploying some complex legacy apps that have upgrade paths that involve changing database schemas and running shell scripts to migrate data. How are you going to reasonably do that with docker? It just hurt my brain to think about it.
If you have the luxury of designing your app from the ground up and its not too complicated of a stack then I see how it is cool. But mostly if it saves you money on AWS bills or something...
