The reason we are keeping the beta private is because we don't believe the quality is good enough yet to "open the floodgates". We are sending as many invites as the engineers are comfortable with - currently that's several thousands per day. As we hit more and more edge cases (performance, stability, support for unusual configurations...) we are expanding the pool as fast as we can.
- tacos 11y agoI appreciate this but in that case you should collect configuration data as part of requesting the bits. If I'm on a machine that's known borked, I'll wait. If not, gimme and I'll help you fix. Otherwise it feels like you're just using this as a marketing trick to build buzz.

- nzoschke 11y agoHey Solomon! Author of the post here. I'll second your ask for patience. If you've been following along, incredibly smart people have been experimenting with Docker and xhyve for a long time now. I feel like I've been waiting for close to a year for a solution this good. Testing and trying lots of permutations on a Mac. I was very excited by the beta announcement and was fine waiting for Docker to send invites at whatever pace makes sense for them. I'll also still patient while the Docker team works out the countless new bugs they will find as people use this far and wide. I'll also keep doing my part to help people be very successful developing and deploying with Docker. Thanks for the hard work.
