Legacy apps are a big business case but getting companies to invest in their legacy estate is still a tough ask. Don't even get me started. Leadership wanted Docker to sell "MTA" (Migrate Traditional Apps) and Docker probably spent a few million to the middleware folks sitting in a room developing "archetypes" instead of TCO to position with the customer as output of the time and money containerizing those apps would save. Instead the push from sales leadership was "sell them on the value". What value? We couldn't prove we were providing any unless we did the containerization. And in the case where we could get services to handle a few freebies they were always the easy ones that didn't truly show anything. It was and is a horrible miss. I'm not sure if that's what they're still focused on but it didn't resonate with customers or prospects. Right before I left Docker was moving into positioning Docker Enterprise for Desktop. They had ridiculously high limits on seat sales and we're going to charge ridiculous premiums per seat. Clearly nobody in leadership realized that the UI provided to bootstrap some simple framework wasn't worth that. But nope... So many wasted resources on products that add no value.
