It's not clear to me that the author has a solid understanding of how Docker makes it money. You don't make money just by giving away software, and you also don't make money by providing support software for no one uses. Docker has been pretty smart to build a well-known brand around supporting a specific set of technologies -- some theirs, and some not. When it became clear they were unable to own every part of the container ecosystem, they made smart decisions around supporting k8s and engaging the open container standard. Docker's got lots of runway providing enterprise support contracts, so I'm not worried about them. I think the author's also not noticing that orchestration was really a bit of a stumbling block that would eventually be removed. Sure, you've still got to use k8s in self-hosted, GCP, and Azure, but those of us on AWS have the option to use ECS with Fargate and have many of the core features of something like Kubernetes fully managed. So anyway, this post is a bit dramatic, and maybe has a few blinders on.
