Docker is awesome for "get started fast" (as are Chef & Puppet) with best-practices, but none of those 3 solutions really deal with how to migrate an existing pre-2.4 config to 2.4, which I think was the point Jeff was trying to make. I have to admit, even given my involvement in the project, I personally still cringe a bit every time I need to do that upgrade. > > Best, > Victor > -- > Victor J.
