Docker Raises $23M

#12Interesting to see this called a Series B. Did Docker hit reset after the split? Here's a separate thread for "Docker Series B: More Fuel To Help Dev Teams Get Ship Done" - with a bit more info on what the plan is from Scott. Interesting to see this news on the same day that "We don't need Docker" was also on the front page of Hacker News. I think we absolutely still need Docker in 2021. https://news.ycombinator.com/…
> "We don't need Docker" was also on the front page of Hacker News. I read it as a typical "We don't need [Complex Tool] because we don't have [Complex Tool Solutions] problems". Not trivializing it, I think those articles are valuable hype-free analysis of the latest tool-of-the-day. "They don't need Docker" and "We absolutely need Docker" are non-contradictory.
This 100%
Better to think of these titles as "When you might need Docker" and "When you might not need Docker" so you can consider the tradeoffs rather than interpret it as a blanket statement, Docker is good/bad.

#13I hope they work on Docker Swarm. “Docker compose” for multiple machines needs working on!
Didn’t they drop Swarm ~1 year ago when they sold their enterprise offering? I thought they decided to instead focus on k8s. All of this becomes so confusing.
Now there's something called Swarm mode built directly into the main Docker engine. I think that was the "replacement" of the classic Docker Swarm.

Trust arc is incredibly obnoxious

There are two very different and kind of opposite "we don't need Docker" perspectives. One is that of the previous article— "we don't need docker because we don't need containerized environments since our tooling produces a single binary which somehow has no dependencies, configuration, or data files, so there's nothing to containerize."
The other is "we don't need Docker because we use tools like buildah, img, or kaniko to build OCI containers, our devs use podman, and we run this stuff in prod on a someone else's k8s PaaS that under the hood is backed by containerd."

I believe that Swarm and the other enterprise-oriented pieces all went to Mirantis. Docker, the company, is now specifically oriented to developers.
This is correct. I really think the play by Mirantis is to let Docker Swarm die while maintaining contracts and selling those existing contracts on K8s moving forward. I found Docker UCP very troubling to work with.

That's some decent patience you've got there.
I give websites 5 seconds, tops.

#18Im still a little surprised Microsoft hasn't bought Docker (or one of the other big compute-infra players).
Docker sold its compute infra business.

#19Thank god, someones gotta pay for the free container registry all my sideprojects depend on!

While it has way more bells and whistles than swarm, check out nomad if you haven't :)
