The only truly compelling case I've seen for Docker is Amazon's ECS, which takes a cluster of EC2 machines and will automatically distribute containers among them where ever there is capacity, according to declared resource needs of a given container. The ability to waste less of your EC2 resources is a very clear business win.

Everything else is still nice, but it's basically "dev environments suck less".

FYI this is very similar to Mesos + Marathon. However, both feel way too verbose and painful to use. I'm very interested in seeing how Docker Swarm plays out.

This ecosystem is still so raw.

Try Lattice: http://lattice.cf/
