I don't get it. Containerizing your apps will help with many things including reliable rollouts. It's trivial to containerize a Java app. Do you just not want to learn about containers?

Using a container orchestrator for deployment is pretty much better than using a CM tool in every way... and it's certainly better than trying to half-ass one with bash scripts.

It is not always trivial to get buy in from your manager to shift your entire datacenter to running docker, or db admins, or the other dev teams, nor might it be trivial to tell the ops guys to go figure out how to run it.

If you are all of the above yourself - tings are much easier
