I do often find myself wondering whether Docker saved developers or system administrators any time. Is Docker really better than building an AMI and provisioning EC2 instances on-demand?
As a developer I can say that docker is saving me a lot of time that I would have otherwise spent on setting up different versions of postgres, redis, elastic search, etc. For the variety of client solutions we are building.
With a docker compose file in place, all I need to do is run "docker-compose" and everything is up and running.
