When you mix this with Docker Swarm, you start thinking of containers
not as small virtual machines, but rather "services" or individual
programs in themselves.  Across many actual VM's spread across many
containers, you're not managing processes anymore, but the services
in container-sized units, which lets you run as many containers as
you need, scaling up and down, and "upgrading" without any downtime
(as long as Docker itself doesn't cough up a hairball).
