Rapid progress and multiple options (like we have with front-end libraries, tool chains and cloud infrastructure) are great, if standardization (at least of the interfaces and vocabulary, if not the implementations) comes in their wake. Otherwise, only fragmentation, unpredictability and pain you will find.
Edit: Just an hour ago I was learning Heroku (having primarily worked with AWS, Linode and bare-metal) and I found that they call a collection of Linux containers a dyno. So we have droplets (confession: never used these), pods, clusters and now dynos. If nothing else, should we not at least standardize the vocabulary?
