The key benefit for me, and the reason I use it for my personal projects, is that it makes it easy to deploy the app. The Dockerfile is basically a list of commands, to install packages, copy files over etc once you have that and build it into an image. You can then do docker run from anywhere on any os and expect consistent results. You could try https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kubernetes/ https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kuberne... for now. Kubernetes is basically a wrapper around Docker. It adds a lot of functionality but it's main job is handling the scheduling/management of Docker containers.
