Isn't this just another way of lock-in? Now instead of using an open source solution or some some other open source management platform, you are now dependent on this company to manage your docker instances. Am I missing something here?

It seems like their technology is open source, or at least some of it: https://github.com/containership https://github.com/containership

  there's not exactly a lot of code going on in either http://github.com/containership/containership http://github.com/containership/containership or http://github.com/containership/containership.core http://github.com/containership/containership.core Kinda confusing as to whether or not this exists/works..

Co-Founder here. containership is free and open source (https://github.com/containership/containership https://github.com/containership/containership). You can run it in the cloud or on-prem behind your firewall. Our SaaS product, ContainerShip Cloud, allows users to launch clusters on providers with a few clicks, as well as backup the entire state of their cluster (including persistent data) for disaster recovery or to move between your Containership clusters with a click. Users still have direct access to docker.sock on their clusters, so everything is still under your control.
