> Docker monoculture I'm not sure how docker is a monocultur? I mean when people speak about docker what they mean is often Linux containers used in a certain way. But wrt. to the implementation of using such containers there are by now multiple competing implementations, on different abstraction levels (e.g. podman as a docker CLi replacement). To me it looks like docker specifically is currently quietly and (very) slowly replaced/superseded by this alternatives. Then wrt. docker images there is also not a mono-culture, through it can't be denied that a lot of images are based on just a small handful of base images (Does anyone have any statistics about it?), either way that "small handful" are still enough images to say it's not a monopoly nor very close to it. I guess the place closest enough to a monopoly is the Docker Hub? But that's easy to replace if necessary.
