The simplest thing for "dev" is not necessarily the simplest thing for "ops" though. I'm in my late 50s and been developing for 35 of them. Honestly, containers are not rocket science and solve a mountain of ops-type problems simply. If you really are only developing a single instance to be deployed in-house, then you may find you don't need them. But as soon as your instance might possibly get exposed to more than one environment, they're a no-brainer for me.
