The Docker model (containerization) won't die off even if Docker (the implementation) is wrong. And if containerization is better, faster, lighter than full-blown VM then we would return to VMware only because they did containerization better than Docker. If I were to predict, I'd say this is the Year of Containers. (And it'd be seen in how programming languages, fault-tolerant systems implement error handling.)
- mattzito 12y agoContainerization is indeed better, for those applications that work well in containers. Many applications don't always behave well in containers, and the container model requires not only that your app work in container environments, but that your development and deployment process works with containers. I suspect that many organizations will start to migrate apps to containers, see that they require a fundamentally different set of tools and processes, and migrate back. The reason VMs work as well as they do is that they look just like regular servers. That does not mean that containers will never succeed, just that it will take a long time for the tooling and processes and knowledge about containers to be common and commodity enough for many organizations to take advantage of them.
