It seems the concept of a loss leader is "lost" on Docker.
Some MBA with a spreadsheet at Docker hasn't realized that where the upstream OSS goes, the rest follow.
- sleepybrett 4y agoLoss leader for products that don't sell? The change to a full open source toolchain for their core products was more or less painless.
- renewiltord 4y agoThey've historically had trouble having that loss leader lead to a non-loss.
- ericb 4y agoA lot of folks have missed the updates--they are now past 100 million in annual recurring revenue--that history has evolved.
- nstart 4y agoI have no idea about their internals but I’m curious how many people used docker’ own registry offering as their repo manager of choice because it’s configured to lookup the docker registry by default. Easier to setup pipelines and dev env workflows etc. If this move means that people have to now manage access to multiple registries like quay and ghcr, will that also incentivize people to go ahead and try migrating to these other registries. Especially given that dockers own registry has such poor permission management.
