Politely it's not bollocks but perhaps I should have used better wording and replaced "process" with "service". :) I look at Docker as a lightweight way of modeling infrastructure and services. I can built a shipload/stack of containers that model/mock/replicate my application architecture or my SOA model or my three tier web application. At the crudest level I can do this by modeling each host (web/app/db for example) with a container (hence single service) but it has the potential to scale up to large, clustered SOA applications too. Having that local model of my application means I am developing something that is a lot closer to reality than running a bunch of services on a shrunken set/consolidated set of hosts (or worse on my desktop) in a dev/test environment. Apologies for confusing the situation.
