Mainly of interest to developers and professionals who are using lots of containers. The base image, e.g. Alpine Linux, is used only once which allows containers based on it to be very compact, in contrast to traditional virtual machines.

Pros
Pro Provides easy sharing and installation of containers through a public registry
Docker allows easily pushing and pulling containers to and from their public index.docker.io registry. Additionally, dotCloud maintains a list of official repositories of the more popular containers.
Pro Allows re-using components
Docker essentially allows creating boilerplate systems (a LAMP stack, for example) that can be used as a starting point on multiple projects. And you can find multiple such containers already created by people in their public registry.
