SHOW NOTES:


IT\\u2019S 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 \\u201cfree\\u201d implementation?
  • As much as DevOps and PlatformEngineering are happening, it\\u2019s tough to have an \\u201cin between\\u201d technology (used by both Infra and AppDev)
  • It\\u2019s OK to adapt your monetization model, but it\\u2019s not OK to not have one
  • Open source can\\u2019t be the driving force of a business. It\\u2019s not a charity.\\xa0
  • If somebody offers you $3B, maybe consider taking it\\u2026.
