Why is Docker used with immutable infrastructure principles?

Expert Docker
Quick Answer Immutable infrastructure means servers are never modified after deployment รขโ‚ฌโ€ if you need a change, you build a new image and replace containers, never ssh in and patch. Docker makes this natural: images are versioned, containers are ephemeral, rollbacks are just pulling the previous image. State lives in external volumes or databases.

Answer

Containers are stateless and replaceable, minimizing configuration drift.
