Between this, Kubernetes, Marathon, Amazon's container service, the tooling is overwhelming. I really have no clue how it all fits together and what a complete setup looks like (dev -> testing/CI -> prod). I'm using Docker for development, but that's where it ends for me.

Amen, it's a landgrab right now.

Is it basically an UI, the newest Registry iteration, authentication and Docker's Swarm - as a service?

It's not a service as I would think of it. You download and install it on-premise as far as I understand.

I know they call it "CaaS", but I guess they are comparing it to using other PaaS's that can be installed on-premise, such as Cloud Foundry. Personally I find the term confusing, as I'm not sure who the consumer of the service is meant to be (developers creating containers? ops who get a platform for running them?)

According to this intro https://docker.wistia.com/medias/mdseh9gv6v , 200 out of 230 people working for Docker Inc are engineers. I like the ratio.

they are in a position of luxury, for sure. if a serious contender starts cutting into Docker Corp's pie, they'll have to ramp up the other departments.

How much runway does Docker Co have for the number of employees on staff?
