They should have announced it earlier and should have given more time to paying customers. I am glad I migrated very early.
I always chuckle when people put so much trust in "startup" companies. It's the same like believing in IBM not trying to screw you over. There's a reason why people and businesses hate vendor lock ins. There's a reason why we do not want AWS to reign supreme for long.
What exactly is docker cloud and how does it fit in the docker workflow?
What exactly is docker cloud and how does it fit in the docker workflow?
It was long known since they did not ship any new update since August 2016. We at Turing Analytics migrated to Rancher labs about 6 months ago. They should have announced it earlier and should have given more time to paying customers. I am glad I migrated very early.
I played around with it a long while ago and really liked it, but felt like more moving parts (and particularly on MySQL, which wasn't in our stack) wasn't something I was too keen on. Having someone manage this for us could be worth paying for though.
People, 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!
Isn't docker hub relatively easy to replace, in comparison?
Otherwise, is this a wakeup call perhaps?
The timing of this (shutdown on 21 May) made me wonder if it's related to the GDPR coming into effect starting on 25 May.
I imagine the service wasn't really making money, and to add GDPR compliance on top, could have been the last straw (or a contributing factor)

Genuine question - what makes you think that Kubernetes has won?
Genuine question - what makes you think that Kubernetes has won? Well, "won" in quotes. I am not a k8s fanboy or anything, I simply observe that all the major cloud providers are offering managed k8s services that have superseded their own proprietary container-type offerings. For better or worse that's where the momentum is. If you wanted to containerize your stack right now, k8s then pick one of the big 3, seems li…
Compared to Kubernetes, Swarm is a breeze to setup, deploy and manage. The manifest files are the same Docker Compose files we're used to, just expanded to cover the new stack concepts. It has support for remote storage mounting, advanced networking configuration, various interesting volume and network plugins[0], and is generally a pain-free experience to use (from my admittedly short time with both).
Kubernetes is a fine product. It's just a shame Swarm doesn't seem to have the same traction.
Can someone share their Swarm experience in production, possibly compared to k8s?
