No, putting aside deployment means he was talking about the benefits of Docker for local development instead of the benefits of Docker for deployment. As to your talk of a build script, this is what the Dockerfile is for, and it is heavily documented.

Correct, but a Dockerfile is not the only way to create a docker image.

Packer has a docker-builder which constructs docker images without a dockerfile, found it useful for quickly converting between creating AMIs and Docker images for EC2.
