 I thought I was an old fart by running my own servers and never jumping on the "cloud" (AWS and such). Mainly I was lazy to learn it and I already knew how to take care of Linux servers. I am only slowly getting used to docker for specific use-cases.

Seems that it's also a cheaper choice.

 Docker is really cool. So is k8s for larger environments.  
 I've found docker is not often the panacea it is advertised. Often times, things will failed to build unless the container is updated, which.... kinda is against thr point.

However, since distros are so slow to update its useful to have a container vs installing a bunch of reps that don't match. However, often, a static binary is preferred and usually easier. 
 I don’t use it much for hosting, but for development, it is amazing.
