On the bright side, Docker has been trying to "own" the term container for quite a while, all to the point that people don't even know that other kinds of containers even exist.
This might open up people to the idea that a container is a concept, and that there are multiple implementations out there, and not just Docker.
- Gusbenz 10y agoI've honestly only thought of containers as related to Docker. They definitely appear to be pushing to "own" the term as you said. Anyway, yeah, really bad name. CoreOS was a wonderful distro name that hinted at its overall purpose/function.
