Though I like automated deployment flows and docker, the author should have stated that docker itself claims to be not production ready in the current 0.9 version. I am a true fan of bleeding-edge technology, but when it comes to production I would like to see a more conservative approach.

Whether something is or is not "production-ready" is subjective. Different projects can handle different levels of (un)reliability; "production-ready" really just means "not a significant contributor to your service's downtime, relative to the quality of your own code."

A more useful-and-objective piece of information, I think, would be the average/maximum number-of-nines of reliablity reported by current users of the project. Then you could just look at your own project's current reliability, and allow yourself to depend on anything more reliable than you are.

Oh I am not disagreeing with you on that one. Definitely a subjective matter. Just the statement about "production-readyness" of docker comes from the docker developers themselves.

Docker's production ready. It's stable (in the sense that it doesn't crash) reliable software. People have been using it production for a long time, and really it's just a wrapper around Linux containers, which people have been using in production for even longer.

Docker's not production ready. The APIs aren't locked down and the developers haven't said it is production ready yet. It may be possible to break out of the container (if you expect to use it like a VM) and people are still fighting over if you should "Dockerize" at the application, service or executable level.

Not sure if Cameyo meets all your needs, but it's worth a look:

If you're serious about it you'd probably consider App-V [1].

Is Docker going to disrupt Chef and Puppet? Is it ready for using in production environments especially RHEL

I was recently on a podcast panel that discussed if Docker was a replacement or complement to Puppet/Chef.

I've seen Puppet Fabric Chef Vagrant and Docker pop up in popularity over the last couple of years, but I've never really been clear on what the use cases are for each. It'd be a nice to see an easily digestible comparison somewhere.

What were your conclusions?
