I am unsure as to what category to place this in so here it goes. Let me know if I should place it elsewhere.

I am currently running the ELK stack using Vagrant. I am new to using the ELK stack and am wondering if I should be using Docker. I guess I am unsure as to the pros and cons of running the stack on Vagrant over Docker or vice versa. If someone could give me some information that would be greatly appreciated. I have to deploy this project to other computers later. So perhaps if your reply could include things like ease of deployment, computer usage, etc that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
