Hm, I don’t know about that either. While scale is their primary purpose, another core tenant of containerization is reproducibility. For example

  1. If you are developing any sort of software, containers are a great way to ensure that the environment of your builds remains consistent.
  2. If you are frequently rebuilding a server/application for any reason, containers provide a good way to ensure everything is configured exactly as it was before, and when used with Git, changes are easy to track. There are also other tools that excel at this (like Ansible).
