I'm in the same boat: I think this has huge potential but with my skill set it would not be wise for my company to be a trailblazer on ops.
@shykes: What would convince me is one or two blog posts from respected members of the community (patio11 comes to mind :-) where they detail a successful transition to use Docker in their infrastructure.
This is something we're working on. Right now Docker is successful in projects and companies who want to be on the ground floor of revolutionary product and have the capacity to invest in / contribute time to dealing with maturing technology.
Not all companies have the benefit of being in such a position, and we're working hard to make Docker adoption a possibility there by offering Services (through partners) and Support (through us) around it.
We will not be the ones to make the judgement of when we've hit that level of maturity, but we will be publishing use cases / white papers / details about people who believe we have.
What I would encourage you to do is to start thinking about it and take advantage of the fact that we have a vested interest in making your project successful. Get in touch, tell us about your needs, and help make Docker better by making sure your use case is on track for being rock solid.
