...because GitLab also has a convenient container registry Also Google Cloud, Amazon, Azure, and even DigitalOcean.
Ok. Docker is also a convenient container registry. And its independent of ALL of those infrastructures so if i cancel any of them or move elsewhere, Im still good. So why should I not pay for Docker?
Ok, so where is Docker Hub hosted? Do they run their own data centers?

What's Docker Desktop exactly?
The thing that I have to install on MacOS so that I can run docker. Is there any other way(i.e no gui utility) ?

Its CLI is similar/same as docker
I remember everyone had written Docker off for dead when they announced their updated pricing plans, but they really made perfect sense, and I am happy to see the company recover. A large chunk of the tech world today relies on their products, but they were making next to nothing for it. It is definitely worth it for large companies to throw a few dollars their way considering the massive amount of value they are get…
It just goes to show how what enterprise customers value and what individual developers value are two very different things.
Small business selling is much more like selling to consumers.
But for individuals it would be a complete different story. I've been playing with PodMan on linux in my home lab for a while now and I'm super happy with it, especially it doesn't need root in most of the cases.

Why would you? Paying for Docker Hub seems like something that people do because they have to short-term, but there’s no genuine selling point to it long-term and I suspect people will…
it was interesting that a lot of the docker pricing model is about container image storage in docker hub, in the enterprise context i was working in, that job was already been done by running private container registries in the chosen cloud vendor's platform, so the docker hub offering didn't really add any value.

Assuming I meant absolute dollars is absurd, I was talking about sustaining or increasing revenue. That should, if anything, be easier for a small company. In theory it’s simple and it’s happened many times: If you have a company with a lot of users but no income stream, you can hold those users hostage without adding much value, just find something that causes immense discomfort if it disappears and charge for it. P…
I've never seen that get you to $120M ARR. Have any examples?

I think they just cashed out; enterprise had to pay, for now, while evaluating and migrating to free alternatives. I don't think it will be a sustainable growth.
