I don't work with K8S or even docker on a day-to-day basis, but to me the ecosystem looks rather good. There are several solutions of orchestration and containerization competing from different vendors, and things tend to be standardised to make them work together : - https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/container-runtime-interface.md https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contribu... - https://www.opencontainers.org/ https://www.opencontainers.org/ No later than yesterday there was that post on HN : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18050781 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18050781 People experiment, dissect, keep some old things, hack new things. K8S is still in active development, new initiatives like Istio and Knative are built on top of it. It looks like an healthy innovative ecosystem to me. I guess it depends of point of view and interests.
