This is a long and detailed presentation (and such a contrast with the stuff I'm seeing this week at the Open Education conference). But it's also very readable and you won't need to know all about virtual environments to benehfit from this - if anything, this is a good place for you to get up to speed with the subject in a hurry, if you're willing to spend some time reading it carefully. Tony Hirst writes, "Although Docker was still far from ready to be put to such purposes in any meaningful way at that time, particularly in terms of robust cross-platform/desktop support, I think a potential adoption path was already identifiable at the time. Over five years on, it seems we're finally starting to explore how effective this might be in practice."
