I’m not saying you wouldn’t. I am saying that you get elasticity, orchestration, and availability by using AWS/Azure/GCP and managed services where appropriate and its a lot simpler. I’m not saying the cloud is always the right answer and if I were to do an on prem/colo, I would probably go for K8s if it were appropriate.

As far as Docker, it is the basis of both Fargate, ECS, and CodeBuild in AWS. I’m definitely not saying that it’s not useful regardless.

But why am I cynical? I consider myself a realist, no job is permanent, salary compression is real and the best way to get a raise is via RDD and job hopping.
