Vagrant vs Docker, what are some points to note when evaluating which to use?

  It depends on what you want to do. Vagrant's main use case is to automate setting up development environments, whereas I see Docker as more a way of distributing software and its dependencies to production systems. A key distinction is that since Docker is built on Linux containers (lightweight Linux systems), it expects to share its host's kernel, and must thus be executed on a Linux system.
