At Lime Technology, we have integrated docker into our NAS offering along with virtual machines (KVM and Xen). Docker provides a way to eliminate the "installation" part of software and skip straight to running proven and tested images in any Docker environment. With Containers, our users can choose from a library of over 14,0000 Linux-based apps with ease. Docker just makes life easier.
In the first company, these were one-off import jobs that would import customer information from a URL they provided.
In the other, these are long-running daemons for a multi-tenant service, and I need to reduce the risk that one customer could exploit the system and disrupt the other customers or gain access to their data.
I have some other experiments in play right now in which I am packaging up various services as docker containers, but this is currently non-production.
I used Docker to solve a somewhat unconventional problem for a client last week. They have a Rails application that needs to be deployed in two vastly different situations: * a Windows server, disconnected from the internet * about 10 laptops, intermittently connected to the internet Docker let us build the application once and deploy it in both scenarios with much less pain than the current situation, which basicall…

1. deploying all our internal components like db, message queue, middleware and frontend using containers and using a custom service discovery manager. The containerization has helped us easily deploy components separately, quickly set up dev environments, test production bugs more realistically and obviously, scale up very quickly.
2. running all the builds in custom user containers. This helps us ensure security and data isolation.
We did run into a bunch of issues till docker was "production-ready" but the use case was strong enough for us to go ahead with it

What value does Docker add if you are already running a VM? Are the laptops Linux, so Docker provides a lighter alternative to a full vm environment?
Now the laptops run the VirtualBox setup and always have the application running in the background. Docker adds value by letting us distribute a much smaller amount of data vs sending out an entire VM image.
For the Windows server, we used to distribute upgrades by sending out an entire VirtualBox appliance image, which was usually around 3GB. Additionally, the operator would have to manually shuffle data between the old and new images. Now, we can ship out an saved Docker image (built with `docker save`) which cuts down on the amount of data transferred, and the final VM we shipped him knows how to upgrade the Docker container and shuffle the data automatically.
