A seeming eternity ago I let Maven convert apps into war files that supposedly could be deployed into any web application server.
What do the new containers add on top of that (or other than that)? Only the option for more services (not just web app, but database, different languages, whatever)?
It seems odd having to worry about that kind of thing.

So if I need a database, rather than instantiating a server with a database, I would create a docker image that runs a database? Then deploy it to some server that can digest docker images (is there a docker image for that)? The point of war files was not having to worry about the server.
