As part of my job, I regularly meet with devops people to discuss their container strategy. Most of the time, the people I talk to are eager to reap the many benefits containers offer, but they are new to working with them. They might have a container-based system or two on-premises or in the cloud, but no clear strategy.
Given how truly disruptive containers are, it’s easy to get excited and want to go all in. But I encourage people to clearly define their short- and long-term objectives and build in the runway needed to acclimate themselves to containers and the culture that surrounds them.
