I could have been clearer. I meant that setting up docker for his use case i.e. a single 'standard' web application, is relatively easy. Especially if you're using something like Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. At least, that's been my experience.

You're right that docker can become very complex e.g. dockerizing and orchestrating mariadb with galera for high availability was not pleasant.

I agree that its actually ok for that use case. But then you don't have a big initial pain to solve, anyway - people using Docker in production usually have few other choices due to the scale they are operating at, and Nomad+Ansible doesn't cut it because there are complex dependencies.
