I suggest you to read and listen to everything (all propoganda) and make your own choice.
For containers, I don't use containers because everyone thinks its great, but because it makes my own life easier.
Similarly I could say functional programming is a propoganda, but I haven't picked it up yet since I don't see that much of pros.
This.
Containers solve a whole bunch of problems so well that they essentially eliminate them as problems.
- containers solve the problem of having to develop installers for applications because containers already come with the whole dependency graph resolved, deployed, and up-and-running.
- containers solve the problem of deploying applications because they run out of the box in isolated processes.
- containers solve the problem of configuring deployed applications to talk with each other safely because they enable developers to configure the network settings for the specific application that is supposed to be applied when the app is deployed, in a way that can be overwritten without any impact on deployment.
- containers enable you to download and run any application effortlessly, even tracking semver.
- etc etc.
Almost everything is. In tech industry and tech media in particular. PR is essentially another name for propaganda, because propaganda got bad name at one point and propaganda firms had to rename it to continue those practices. Evangelist and advocate roles are essentially people employed to spread propaganda. Even just the idea of startup growth is deeply tied to propaganda.

That's not really true. They help a bit with certain problems, introduce other problems, and container-based technology implementations pile on so many problems and look so incompetent, it's hard to even take any of it seriously.
Haha, are you telling me my perception of my life getting easier is not really true?
(But I would say that containers used right, do objectively make our lives easier.)
