- detaro 8y agoThat's the point of parent and the article: It has a billion dollar valuation, but they doubt it can back that up with actual revenue and profits.
- Spooky23 8y agoOf course not, a product company like docker is built for acquisition.
- mbreese 8y agoI can think of a few companies that might want to buy Docker. I can think of no company that would buy it at a billion dollar valuation.
- nodesocket 8y agoI can think of a few companies that may pay an absurd vaulation for Docker; IBM and Microsoft.
- raesene9 8y agoMicrosoft's containerization strategy heavily depends on Docker (they've got a licensing deal so that Windows server can use Docker EE for free) they might well pay good money to by Docker
- SimbaOnSteroids 8y agoDidn't IBM just buy Red Hat for $34 Billion? Can you imagine a future where Amazon acquires Docker to optimize it to run on AWS and perhaps perform a bit worse on GCP. Any small advantage you could get in the space would equate to large changes with as ubiquitous Docker is and as large as AWS is.
- baylisscg 8y agoPerhaps but given AWS is a heavy Xen and KVM shop something like Kata Containers might suit them better.
