Easier, Better, Faster, Safer Deployment with Docker and Immutable Containers
Summary
Jerome Petazzoni explains in detail the advantages of immutable servers, then how to implement them with containers in general, and Docker in particular.
Bio
Jerome Petazzoni is a senior engineer at Docker, where he helps others to containerize all the things. In another life he built and operated Xen clouds when EC2 was just the name of a plane, developed a GIS to deploy fiber interconnects through the French subway, managed commando deployments of large-scale video streaming systems in bandwidth-constrained environments such as conference centers.

Good real-world examples of current as well as container-based deployment issues and ways to address them.

Jerome made the point for immutable infrastructure really well, and examples in Docker demonstrated very nicely how containers tackle most of the downsides of immutable infrastructure (mostly related to some kind of its overhead). Nice and clear. I liked the examples with sharing volumes, because volumes are something that I struggled most mentally when I started with Docker. :-)
