I think (with the exception of OpenShift), most of RH products are acquisitions. I can think of plenty of acquisitions Docker can make to take a similar path; Portainer, Kotena, some CI software (Drone, etc.) All that would kind of make Docker Inc a one-stop shop for startups (definitely) or whoever else wants everything from one company.
- user5994461 9y agoA startup can get the same stack and much more from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. If it should bet on one company, it should bet on the cloud it's already using.
- bonzini 9y agoOpenShift is also an acquisition (OpenStack is not). [1] What you say makes sense, but then Docker is also coming 10-12 years late to the game, and until it's profitable and has money in the bank it's hard to do many expensive acquisitions.

- smarterclayton 9y agoOpenShift started before Makara with a simple code base called "OpenShift Express". The code acquired with Makara was never used in the hosted service or what became the open source project, although some ideas crossed over. OpenShift 3 (current) has no code in common with any of the older space. It was a totally new platform built on top of Kubernetes and docker.
