This document provides advice on taking Docker to production. It recommends starting simply by focusing on Dockerfiles and containerizing existing applications before complex orchestration. It also warns against common anti-patterns like using the "latest" tag or trapping data in containers. The document outlines sample swarm architectures and tech stacks and notes that outsourcing non-critical components can simplify operations. It closes by suggesting that an orchestrator may not always be needed and that running one container per VM is a valid approach.
