Maybe you have looked already and it wasn't useful to you but on the Docker website it has some pretty good marketing to explain its usefulness: https://www.docker.com/whatisdocker

Why Use Docker: "How does this help you build better software? When your app is in Docker containers, you don’t have to worry about setting up and maintaining different environments or different tooling for each language. Focus on creating new features, fixing issues and shipping software."

Business Case: "...With Docker, you can easily take copies of your live environment and run on any new endpoint running Docker..."

Yeah, I looked at the Docker website. I feel that Docker is super good at marketing and wanted to get some other opinions.
