That's sorta where I've been coming up, too. Great, hard working group but docker strikes me as a very small component of the deployment stack, the entirety of which doesn't even have much enterprise value.

What would be a good comparison for a component company like this getting to 100s of millions or $1b?

LOL. The massive and obvious enterprise value is in having a standard way to deploy and interface isolated Linux applications along with their dependencies, along with a convenient hub for distributing and exchanging them.

No, its not the first time any technologies with _some_ these types of capabilities have been available, but it is the first time this powerful combination of those capabilities have come together in a way that has so much momentum.
