Interesting 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.

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.

does docker make net profit? or is the "future" potential earnings at a crazy multiple still making sense when yields are rising and inflation is expected to rise?

I 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.

There's also, though, things like K8S not using Docker, podman becoming popular, etc. Neither is a definitive nail, but it does erode Docker's moat a bit.

I believe that Swarm and the other enterprise-oriented pieces all went to Mirantis. Docker, the company, is now specifically oriented to developers.

As a 10+ years old company / YC company + significant amount of market share, I was expecting Docket to be like series D-F or even going public. Wondering if it is actually common for companies in CA to be like that...
