Vagrant with ansible to set it up. 1 build vm, 6 'deployed' vm's and 1 'deployer'.

Needs a minimum of 42G ram, 150G disk space and fills its logs at 2G/h. Not great when you are running on a 256G SSD.

Building takes 2h+ with ~10% random failure rate due to dependency mirrors and timeouts.

The python code is deployed as gziped virtualenvs to the hosts. This actually works pretty nicely as it means you cant just import stuff and have to build stuff similar to 12 factor style(We dont use ENV_VARS/stdout logging though).

TBH I still dont really see the point of docker, Im sure it will 'just click' at some point but it hasnt happened yet

At this point, I too am trying to find "it will 'just click'" moment for docker, though I have only been looking at the two for a few days only.
