How do people who use containerd and minikube benefit from a well supported Docker company?

• raesene9 5y ago
  Docker begat ContainerD, so without Docker the organization, it would not exist as a project in it's current form. As to current support, well if you're just using minikube, you don't need Docker Desktop, so this isn't a problem :)

    But would they care if Docker Inc went bankrupt now? The claim was we all benefit. Universal and present tense.

      If Docker hub went away, I have a fairly strong feeling the sound of CI/CD pipelines collapsing around the world would be heard for quite a while :) Also without paid developers maintaining Docker Engine, there would be a nasty situation next time there was a security issue in it and the millions of installs were unmaintained.

        I believe Microsoft acquires Docker, Inc before that, like npm, Inc.

          In that case we would be back with what the original question asked for... > a well supported Docker company

  That’s not really relevant, the discussion is about Docker for Desktop. But your still benefit from their brand and marketing and development efforts, as the rest of the ecosystem.
  • pseudalopex 5y ago
    Do you mean you just meant Docker Desktop users when you said we all? The ecosystem doesn't depend on Docker Inc now. And how do I benefit from the brand?
    • yawaramin 5y ago
      You benefit from the brand because you can point to the success of Docker instead of having to argue with other engineers that containerization is a good approach to development/deployment.

        I never had to do that. I had to convince people Docker isn't the right tool for every job though.
