I agree with you.
Fact: Docker is insanely popular with devs but Docker Inc. is struggling as a company. Devs have invested a lot on the platform and entire production systems and deployment pipelines use it.
k8s announces "we're no longer supporting docker shim!" and what most devs heard is "k8s is moving off from docker (which we know has been struggling for a while)! Fuuuuuccckkkk what do we need to do??" and panicked. This is the source of the drama, and we're going to see many "takes" on it. Its just the way the blogging ecosystem works.
- zapita 6y agoI think that’s an accurate summary.
- tariqislam_ 6y agoYou summarized the last part of my post. In part, I wrote this article because I wanted to give a little bit of history on why docker is being deprecated at all, where it's being deprecated, and that meant calling out the fact that Docker Inc, at one point, tried to make docker into an enterprise platform. My other intent was to clarify that this has little impact on the runtime, because Docker was never the runtime, it was always containerd.
