"enterprises are confused as to how to use Docker in real production scenarios"
Well I think that remark sums up the Cloud situation quite nicely.
There are, of course, a few companies for whom the Cloud is entirely justified, useful, and contributing to the ever-important bottom line.
The majority, however, are just fumbling around, toying with the tools, trying to wrap their heads around how to get that stuff into production in a useful way.
Right now, I'm against using Cloud services for security and confidentiality reasons, but I do believe that that situation will improve with the current drive for encryption (despite the US governments best efforts). When data security will be properly guaranteed by Cloud operators (and technically verifiable), then I see no reason why companies couldn't have their production environment entirely cloud-based. That way, we could finally get rid of Windows in the workplace, go for a secure Linux setup using business-oriented browsers and finally rid the world of Windows-based botnets and malware.
I'm hopeful, but now is not the time.
