You can build a docker image in a vagrant VM on OSX and deploy that exact docker image to production.
If your vagrant image resembles production, it's probably fine, but there's a level of confidence to be reached from deploying the exact entire self-contained binary, shipping it through QA and staging, and eventually promoting it to production.
- pekk 11y agoThis is also a use case for not developing on OS X, which doesn't have anything to do with production anyway.
- mdaniel 11y agoCan you clarify? Do you mean that one should only develop upon the platform that will be used in production?
- justizin 11y agoYes, the previous commenter is a purist with no battery life on their laptop. Further, if you're in the middle of upgrading your production OS, does this mean that you need two developer machines? C'mon!
- trustfundbaby 11y agoThis should be made into an answer to the OP's question, because this is the use case that I think most people will wind up moving to docker for, if they do.
