Comparing Docker and Puppet to VMs is not really fair. How do you configure them at scale? What about failures? That would need a lot more getting into cloud configuration/scripting.
Having started with devops only recently, I find the concept of CoreOS + Docker Containers/Images/Dockerfiles (that are close enough to Bash scripting) easier to get into than learning custom UI/API of custom company to deploy to their cloud.

- ownagefool 12y agoBut DR is and removing variables in the environment is a worthwhile endevour for anything that's not fire and forget.
- jraedisch 12y ago> The virtualization and containerization of computing is a long term net win, but there isn't a lot of huge benefits financially or otherwise for the scale most companies operate at. I guess I have skipped that sentence. It makes all the difference for scaling. Failover is still a concern though.
