Most of the responses here are knee-jerk.

I liked the article. It's close to my adverntures with containers. I think the invention of docker is indeed mostly packaging: Dockerfile (functional) is pretty neat, docker hub (addressing a container) is awesome, and the ENTRYPOINT in Dockerfile is great, it distinguishes Docker from .deb.

But indeed, beyond Dockerfile things are bleak. Docker compose never rose to my expectations. To get serious things you need load blancer, storage, addressing, and these are beyond traditional containers scope.
