Hello, I am a newbie here. I was looking into *packer* for *container provisioning* (not VM) and at the moment *packer* looks more like an unnecessary abstraction to me. I could very well do all I need with *docker* (in *Dockerfile*) itself. So I was just wondering what *packer* brings extra to the table for *container provisioning* that I could not do with a simple *docker* and *Dockerfile*. Could anyone enlighten me with some extra benefits one experienced with *packer for container provisioning* compared to *docker*?
