Dead? Really? TLDR - author disapproves of Docker's management & monetization strategy. However, offers no evidence for a "dying" docker. ClickBait.

The technology is not "docker" but containerisation.
No, technology is "docker." Containerisation is a family of technologies, but things like runc or - especially - LXC are quite different.

while it's been a while since my last brush with kubernetes, didn't they use kubectl?
So yeah... it's containerisation, not docker.
The 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.
Docker as a software product may die pretty soon as people switch to containerd which includes more or less all the functionality you want and none of the bugs you don't want.

Despite the rise of Kubernetes, it's not for every use case and far from it. Docker Swarm and Docker Compose are extremely valuable with small deployments and development. It's by the far the easiest and simplest way to get a cluster up and running.
Agree docket-compose is useful, but that’s an open source standalone program, not something you pay docker for.

And projects like rkt don't exist in your world? while it's been a while since my last brush with kubernetes, didn't they use kubectl? So yeah... it's containerisation, not docker.
If 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 R…
But I agree Microsoft is the most likely buyer. They are probably just waiting for the bottom to fall out for Docker and they can snap it up for the right price.
I 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
Docker swarm is easier and better if you just need a small local cluster. Though for most things just a single system setup with docker-compose will suffice.
