    Ok, so I have a question: why would a "property development firm" have any use for Docker?

    This would seem to be a needless complication to an office architecture and that will likely cost more money and introduce more infrastructure risk to their operating model in the long-term.

    Seems odd.

    What is the use case?

      It sounds like the client is not technically minded and someone has told them that Docker is the latest and greatest technology and they should utilise that, without taking the time to actually understand their needs.

      If all you've got is a hammer....

        I'm shocked people are saying £750 p/day for Docker, it's a commodity skill that a decent first year could pick up in about 2 weeks (I've seen many do it).

        A perm equivalent rate for a docker consultant would be £40/50k so if you are getting £750 a day for this good luck to you, but you are robbing the client blind and you'll get pulled-up on it one day very soon

          OP said good. The definition of good does vary considerably in IT.
