What makes me excited about Docker’s diff-based filesystem stack is that it potentially allows a build of code to go through a CI chain untouched, all the way into production really quickly. I’m not a virtual machine expert, but I believe this is slower in traditional virtualization like Vagrant for example. Am I far off? At work we’re using layered AMI build tools to roll new services and app builds into production, and the process is not quick.

It makes the act of building your code 100% automated and discoverable, and the resulting build should be usable, unchanged, all the way from development to production.
