A lot of this was the motivation for writing the book we wrote on Docker in Practice [1]. The reality of implementing such a technology requires a combination of improvisation, technical nous, bluffing, and a willingness to work through the inevitable problems [2].
I've talked about the relative immaturity of Docker as a used system (outside of dev) [3] and am struck often by how rarely people understand that it's still a work in progress, albeit one that can massively transform your business. The hype works.
That said, Docker can work fantastically in production, but you need to understand its limits and start small.
