#2Dead? Really?
TLDR - author disapproves of Docker's management & monetization strategy. However, offers no evidence for a "dying" docker. ClickBait.
Re: Docker is Dead
#3The article title should probably differentiate between the state of Docker as a company, and Docker as a software product.
That said, with all major cloud providers now offering Kubernetes cluster management with a free Kubernetes host, and the economy-of-scale offered by those cloud providers driving the costs of cloud computing down, I'm not sure how Docker Swarm can compete.

Seriously. At the least, re-title to "Docker, Inc." because the technology is FAR from dead.

#5I was expecting something else from that title...
I do agree with the sentiment that docker, the company, probably won't be around forever. I'm hopeful that the docker binary stays, however. It's not really useful in a business setting, but quite nice to experiment a little on developer machines.

The technology is not "docker" but containerisation.

#8If Docker's future is an acquisition, who will it be? I have not thought deeply about this, but like the author, I have also heard scuttlebutt.
From the "good for us" perspective, the community would not miss the company's leadership on Linux Container standardization nearly as much as the aggregation service that is DockerHub. But from the "good for the acquiring company" perspective, who would care? A GitHub or a RedHat has the mission and user base where it might make sense, but both companies already have plenty of their own infrastructure tooling. I'm also not sure either company would bid very hard against an Oracle or Google.
The most strategic acquirer sounds to my ear like Microsoft. Their recent Linux compatibility investments prove they might actually Extend instead of Extinguish. We've gotten some time to get used to Microsoft not being The Enemy anymore. Heck, you could even say I'd be a little enthusiastic if this news dropped.

isn't that the point? Docker is just the company now, because docker spun out their technology into moby. there's still a binary on my computer called docker, but it seems that docker, inc wishes that weren't so.

#10I think what Docker the software is doing is great. Try and setup an in house kubernetes cluster that is secure. It’s next to impossible.
Now setup the new Docker Swarm. Takes all of a few commands to be setup properly
