#3I was logged into docker the other day and saw this notification but I didn’t—and still don’t—know exactly what services they’re referring to. Do they mean everything under cloud.docker.com, the swarms beta, or something else?

People. People are up in arms.
Anyway, yeah, that's insane. Even Google, who constantly shuts stuff down, usually does so with way more heads up. For comparison, Google Reader, a completely free service, shut down with 3.5 months advance notice. Google Wave got almost 6 months notice.

#5What exactly is docker cloud and how does it fit in the docker workflow?

It certainly makes me rethink if docker services should be relied on in production.
Migrating off docker cloud will be a pain, but the service was already a pain to use, so maybe it's about time anyways.
But imagine being given 2 months to migrate off docker hub for image storage. Panic would ensue :)

#7Given the time it takes to migrate the production stack to another system (one or more months), this won't be enough time for many users to migrate. There is no drop-in replacement. It is pretty abrupt of them to give a 60 day notice.
On a meta thought, I wonder what potentially caused this move. It is/was a pretty decent service.

#8People, yours truly included, seem a bit concerned with the 2 months notice.
To be fair docker cloud was never great and hopefully it doesn't have many big customers...
But the precedence of shutting down a paid service with 2 months notice is not nice. What would happen if this was docker hub? Panic!

#9Wasn't the whole point of docker containers that deploys and migrations are a breeze?

Docker cloud offered CI/CD integrations and management features similar to K8S that were proprietary to them. While Docker images themselves are portable, this is a whole different beast.
