Example use cases:
- Util packing
- Dev tools in a box, host bind
- Demo shipping
- Production environments?
- Supervisor systems inside of related set of docker container
- focused on hands-on learning through exercises and exploration
- guided exploration rather than lectures and canned tutorials
curl -s https://get.docker.io/ubuntu/ | sh apt-get install linux-image-extra-`uname -r` cat /proc/filesystems | grep aufs

vs explicit manual install from packages (lxc-docker, not docker.io)
- containerization is an old concept, Linux late to the game
- running a container in the foreground
- running it in the background and inspecting the logs
- running bash inside to inspect the env, network and file system

- some commands & arguments are subtly different

- for your own internal use VS sharing with the world
- for your own use, bake all your common utils and config into the base
- minimize size & layering
- for external use, keep the base light or even better use a common 3rd party base image
- for your own use, bake all your common utils and config into the base

- vs chroot
- vs lxc
- vs packer
- mutable long-lived physical boxes or vms
- snow-flakes
- config managed
- mutable but short-lived vms
- immutable vms
- better packing and utilization
- remember it’s still not native performance.
- good usage of docker won’t add much extra overhead but you’re already virtualized
- good overview http://jasonwilder.com/blog/2014/02/04/service-discovery-in-the-cloud/

- too early to really know about ‘best practices’:
- think critically, measure, test, and monitor
- what is your unit of deployment
- be wary of the less used backend drivers which haven’t had much battle testing yet
- e.g. lvm
- use device-mapper, btrfs or aufs
- use libcontainer instead of lxc execution engine
- pay attention to error reporting and handling. How does your infrastructure handle the unhappy path.
- keep an eye on the issues on github for bugs that may affect you
- try to develop your apps & systems so you can deploy to docker OR elsewhere. There is no need to lock yourself into docker-only approaches.
