title: Does Docker reduce or mitigate the need for Puppet/Chef et al?
body: <p>I'm not au fait with any of these technologies (embarrassing really), but at my present gig, the company badly needs to automate.</p>
  
  <p>So as I begin to read-up on Puppet and Chef and PowerShell DSC, I then remember that Docker and containerisation is coming to Windows.</p>
  
  <p>Does Docker do away with the need for these tools, or do they work together?</p>
  
  <p>I understand that Docker uses virtualisation technology in the OS, so I get the feeling that Docker solves a different problem, and a configuration tool is still needed but I've no certain, practical knowledge.</p>
