The math of “a decade” seemed wrong to me, since I remembered Docker debuting in 2013 at PyCon US Santa Clara.
Then I found an HN comment I wrote a few years ago that confirmed this:
“[...] I remember that day pretty clearly because in the same lightning talk session, Solomon Hykes introduced the Python community to docker, while still working on dotCloud. This is what I think might have been the earliest public and recorded tech talk on the subject:”
YouTube link: https://youtu.be/1vui-LupKJI?t=1579 https://youtu.be/1vui-LupKJI?t=1579
Note: starts at t=1579, which is 26:19.
Just being pedantic though. That’s about 13 years ago. The lightning talk is fun as a bit of computing history.
(Edit: as I was digging through the paper, they do cite this YouTube presentation, or a copy of it anyway, in the footnotes. And they refer to a 2013 release. Perhaps there was a multi-year delay between the paper being submitted to ACM with this title and it being published. Again, just being pedantic!)

- FlyingSnake 7mo agoYou’re right, it was 2014. I was there on HN when docker was announced by shykes. It was a godsend because I was getting bummed by the alternatives like LXC, juju charms or vagrant. Here’s the announcement from 2013: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5408002 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5408002

- musicale 7mo agoI still prefer LXC to docker. Improving libvirt and making virtualization a first-class OS feature with a library interface - vs. relying on an external tool and company interested in monetization - was and is the right approach.
- moondev 7mo agoThat's why I love Incus. It offers all three so you don't have to choose. OCI app containers, LXC containers and KVM.
- avsm 7mo agoFrom another comment below, it's just a nice short title to convey that we're going back in time and not one to set your watch by. We first submitted the article to the CACM a while ago. The review process takes some time and "Twelve years of Docker containers" didn't have quite the same vibe. (The CACM reviewers helped improve our article quite a bit. The time spent there was worth it!)
- pixelmonkey 7mo agoMakes sense! Thanks for working on it -- truly a wonderful paper!
