<div>Here is a Register article, which covers the same ground as Joe's post:</div>

<div>" For instance, Docker could be used to run a database in one container and an app server in another, and the configurable isolation properties"</div>
<div>So can we think of batch schedulers which woudl reserve parts of big NUMA machines, and run docker containers on them?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also fromthe blog, Offline Transfer:</div>
<div>"The exported bundles are regular directories, and can be transported by any file transfer mechanism, included ftp, physical media, proprietary installers, etc</div>
<div>. This feature is particulary interesting for software vendors who need to ship their software as sealed appliances to their “enterprise” customers. </div>
<div>Using offline transfer, they can use docker containers as the delivery mechanism for software updates"</div>
<div>That is really interesting.</div>
<div>Can we forsee users running on in-house clusters with Docker containers, which may be commercial applications delivered pre-packaged by an ISV,</div>
<div>or locally developed?</div>
<div>Then when they need more capacity in short timescales just exporting those containers to run on a cloud (let's say AWS ) and be confident they will run in the same way?</div>
