Fred Hebert was on the ElixirTalk podcast and mentioned speed of deploys as one advantage - no need to rebuild a bunch of VMs.

> From experience, we could deploy to a 70-node cluster in something like under 5 seconds by doing it in parallel. If you want to rotate your infrastructure... your deploy could be taking from 5 minutes to an hour depending on how fast the connection draining can be done.
