If you properly externalized the configurations, Docker provides bit-by-bit parity between environments granted you use the same image.
This results in increased confidence to test environments and lessening the chances of a surprise during production deployments. It is the next logical step in immutable deployment paradigm[1].

- icebraining 9y agoBut why not use the typical solution of having two testing environments, in this case based on "develop" and "master", with the latter being bit-by-bit equal to what gets deployed?
