So you write an abstraction around the provider, and when you switch provider, you still need to implement a new implementation of that abstraction for the new provider. So in this regard, docker gave absolutely 0 benefit. In regards to setting up a new server for a new provider, or docker, you have some boiler plate: -> create script to attach docker to provider New provider... -> create new script to attach docker to provider ---- -> create script to provision server on provider -> run generic script to configure it how I want New provider -> create new script to provision server on provider -> run generic script to configure it how I want In this regard, moving from 1 provider to another, is identical.
