Edit: my reasons look so small compared to that rocket landing. Makes me feel like whatever I'm working on is just _not_ BIG enough.
Rolling upgrades, artifact transport, and cleaner host machine alone can give you extra donut and YouTube time. Also doing forensics can be easier knowing the a specific container is at fault.
About the clean base host, One doesnt have to install anything really. No worries about runtimes, supporting libs, etc. This allows new machines to start even faster from zero.
Doesn't eliminate them, but as a sysadmin doesn't have to worry about what version of it or even if runtimes such as ruby/Java/Python exist, any devel libs, exist in the machine.
That same container can move from my desktop to any environment.
