Companies send young engineers (and older engineers who should know more but don't) to AWS and Microsoft for "cloud certification". They learn how to operate cloud services because thats what benefits AWS and MS, so thats what their solutions use.
It's a difficult uphill battle to get people interested in how things work under the hood, which is what you need in order to know you can do things like easily host your own package repositories.
- figmert 2y agoThis is a odd assessment. I agree certifications aren't all that, but having people learn them isn't about that. It's more that people don't feel like reinventing the wheel at every company, so they can focus on the real work, like shipping the application they've written. So companies like AWS, Docker etc, write things, abstract things away, so someone else doesn't have to redo the whole thing. Yes I can host my packages and write tooling around it to make it easy. But JFrog already has all the tooling around it, and it integrates with current tooling. Why would I write the whole thing again?
- danmur 2y agoI am responding to this part of the parent comment: > I don't do a ton with Docker outside dev tooling, but I have never understood why private container registries even exist? You know the options and have made a conscious choice: > Yes I can host my packages and write tooling around it to make it easy. But JFrog already has all the tooling around it, and it integrates with current tooling. Why would I write the whole thing again? So presumably you are not the kind of people I was talking about. EDIT: I'm also assuming by the rent seeking part that the parent is referring to paid hosted services like ECR etc.
