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.

I've written a report about it for a class last month and it may help you have a better understanding of Swarm/Kubernetes/Marathon: http://armand.gr/static/files/htise.pdf

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

years

Nice writeup. You might consider creating an HTML version for people who are cautious about opening PDFs.

I somehow stumbled onto Kubernetes, it met all of my needs for a complete setup, and now I'm sticking to it. I really enjoy using it.

Before that happened, I felt the exact same way. I still do. Docker, HashiCorp, CoreOS, Google and Amazon are all fighting for control, some building on the work of others, some developing their own solutions, some targeting different markets, some targeting the same market. It's incredibly messy, confusing and yet also somehow supposed to make my life easier.

What's the difference from their own Docker Cloud (ex tutum)?

Docker Cloud (formerly Tutum) probably only duplicates the control plane aspect of DDC. It's also "in the cloud" versus hosted inside of your own enviroment - which a lot of people with big builds want.

There's also a lot of thrash in this space right now. If you don't have the time or don't want to be a trail blazer use Boring Technology ™ until someone else figures it out for you. Perfectly acceptable approach, imo.

I just managed to get docker-compose setup for our local environments. So far so good but so much more to learn.

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.

This "Universal Control Plane" thing looks pretty enterprisy. I have to imagine they are ramping up an enterprise sales team now, with all the org changes that come along with that. This product sort of reminds me of Citrix and Xenserver.
