Thanks for the post Ed!

I'm of the belief that Docker containers on their own don't provide much more benefit over VMs. In fact, with greater permissions on the docker daemon, I'd say it's worse than running a VM from a security standpoint.

To me, containers only start to shine with orchestrators like kubernetes or nomad which can do autoscaling, load balance, etc.

Hope people learned from your post!
