I'm currently using Centos 7 with Docker. It is probably just because I 
seem to always do things differently for some (or no) reason but I have 
ended up rolling pretty much all of my own Docker containers. I am very 
very pleased with the results so far but at the same time it has been a 
lot of work. In addition to being able to control all the patching and 
updates I have set them up pretty much as build scripts to custom tailor 
things to my environment. And the overhead compared to VM's is so much 
smaller. Still very much a work in progress but it has been very satisfying.
