SHOW NOTES:
IT’S HARD TO SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES
- Docker was the transition between OpenStack (bad foundation) and Kubernetes (CNCF)
- Was Docker a Community or a Cult? How did Leadership work?
- Docker was stuck between VMware and Developers
WHAT HAS THE INDUSTRY LEARNED FROM THE DOCKER DAYS?
- Customers and communities are very hesitant to adopt another single-vendor offering
- Could Docker have succeeded as a “free” implementation?
- As much as DevOps and PlatformEngineering are happening, it’s tough to have an “in between” technology (used by both Infra and AppDev)
- It’s OK to adapt your monetization model, but it’s not OK to not have one
- Open source can’t be the driving force of a business. It’s not a charity.
- If somebody offers you $3B, maybe consider taking it….
