In 5 years I think that we will have a container ecosystem that is just as stable as the Cloud ecosystem. Cloud platforms were revolutionary because they made setting up VMs, virtual networks, load balancing, etc possible to do in an automated and on-demand fashion. Container orchestration allows for many of the same concepts with a smaller footprint. The ecosystem is still maturing, but many organizations are adopting containers as a catalyst for advancing their DevOps efforts. Some may want to wait longer than others for the ecosystem to mature, some may want to abstain altogether. It's not a radical concept though, so I disagree that most will "regret" containers being mainstream in 5 years just like most don't regret Cloud platforms being mainstream today.
