> I feel like the author's point is that docker and friends enable tools not meant for distributed/concurrent/parallel to be deployed in such a way. I could be mistaken and would be curious what you think of that argument.

That's exactly the point I think the author fails on. Docker is not a tool to make your app distr/conc/parallel: and thus I point out that docker is merely a way to ship code. Not as a binary. Not with load of ansible/puppet scripts. But as a container (container spec + config as env vars).

I see what you're saying now, there's nothing about Docker or containerizing that promotes using the wrong tool for the job.

It just happens to be employed by other frameworks that make it easier to make that mistake.
