I think the main point to consider is, if Kubernetes is the technology for large deployments, who is left to buy enterprise solutions from Docker the company?
And without enterprise sales, what is going to fund docker development for the small and simple docker workloads?
- raesene9 8y agoWell Docker the company is a different game. They have gone quite heavily for the enterprise market and support Kubernetes as part of their Docker EE product. Of course, whether that will give them enough success to justify their valuation, is another matter. Personally, I had thought they would get bought out by one of the large tech. players who is heavily investing in containerization (e.g. Microsoft) but that doesn't seem to have happened so far.
- pbalau 8y agoAmazon might have a say in this, both their ECS and EKS solutions are based on docker.
- pknopf 8y agoThe Docker company may not survive, but Docker will. Especially considering the work the Docker company is doing to support OCI. The dockerd internally uses containerd now, which supports both Docker images and OCI images.
- alexandre_m 8y agoI always tend to think that the reason Docker developers decided to split the Docker products codebase (CE/EE) into the Moby components 2 years ago was that they foresaw the inevitable death of Docker in the long-term.
