My personal design philosophy (from a System Admin, SRE, DevOps, Ops- whatever) is no black boxes. I'm not talking about knowing the inns and outs of every little component in my infrastructure/system, but instead of saying "This is Graylog" being able to say "This is Graylog- a Java app that uses MongoDB to index and Elasticsearch as a backend. We have to monitor JVM usage." The former is saying we depend on a system we have no idea how it works, and the latter is saying we depend on 2 java applications and a NoSQL database. It horrifies me that people run stuff in production not knowing how it's configured. But, this happens and is why there is just a booming market for DBaaS and other like productions. Docker is an amazing tool, but does make somethings a bit too easy.
