Explains why Docker-style containers are smaller layered images (GB VMs → tens of MBs per app), how teams use build ship run workflows, and which tools glue it together: Docker Engine, Swarm, Weave/registrator, hosted Jenkins pipelines and registries on Bluemix, plus vulnerability advisor for image scanning. Gives numbers: a bank deploys ~1,500 times/week, BBC speeds CI/CD ~60% faster, Docker reports ~40% of users in production; describes successful Etsy/Yelp-style platform stacks and service discovery working at scale.
