This is true. Also not your original point: you claimed that Docker containers were generally unsuitable for production The overhead is generally not that huge: you build, sign and upload your images to registry you run. This is no different than when you build, sign and upload your custom-built distro packages. Yes, running something like Openstack cause some additional overhead. > We delegate management of sites to people who look after them (where > it makes sense) as it helps people get things done. > They are essentially the "admin" of that specific site/service, but > won't have root on the actual server that runs it. Good approach. It is by no means incompatible with running services in a container. You can give specific system users membership of a docker group, allowing them to start/stop/deploy etc. You then control which containers the user is actually allowed to manipulate in registry config.
