Where's the innovation compared to LXC and wget?
- manigandham 7y agoFast, easy and standardized product suite with a CLI, runtime and registry that led to massive industry-wide cross-platform usage and spin-off projects like Kubernetes compared to basically nothing for the decade before. You don't have to invent new tech. Better UX counts as innovation, enough to be worth billions. Your reply reminds of the infamous Dropbox HN comment that said it was nothing more than FTP with SVN.
- noptd 7y ago> spin-off projects like Kubernetes Not quite- Kubernetes was an open source "spin-off" of Borg, which has been in use at Google since 2003. However, Docker did quickly become the de facto standard for containerization on k8s, due in part to its prevalence and ease of use as you mentioned above.
