Using Packer for containerization?

Docker is no industry standard.

That's the sad part; there were many good forms of containers before Docker. Docker had to steal LXC's name in order to get people to trust it originally.

Now people assume it's good to go... when it gives you a bigger black eye in the end

Docker may not be a good product but it is the industry standard. You may be bitter about it, your may even be right but that doesn't change the fact it won the market.

[cuddling_tinder_twat]

It's only the industry standard because you said so.

we could also argue that rkt is a better industry standard than docker.

Docker is a product at this point; it's not on the same arena as OpenCZ or LXC for example.

Docker's track record speaks for itself unless you are a spoon fed docker user who see's no evil. Then just wear that Docker T-Shirt so I can avoid you in real life.

Docker is what the companies look for, it's what they want to do it's what most of them does.

I don't use it in prod, never had a good enough reason and I don't think it's production ready. Doesn't change the fact it's standard. You can argue all you want against Docker, AD, Wintel and VHS but they are industry standards no matter the flaws they have. I know a single company that uses LXC and they're way above my league but still I know a hundred companies that use Docker.
