Re:Docker Raises $95M Series D Round for Its Container Platform by bmurphy1976 on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @10:26AM (#9374478)
Every couple months I clone Rocket, build it, play around with it for a few days, and end up back with Docker. We wrote Python scripts that export Docker containers to a format that is very similar to Rocket's spec so I'm very interested in using Rocket as a replacement for that part of our infrastructure.

That said, this is a hard problem and it is going to take some time for all the issues to shake themselves out. Rocket also has a long way to go before they are production ready. I'm hopeful they'll provide a nice alternative in the long run, but today their platform is just as sketchy.

When I say the bugs will be fixed, I mean they will be fixed, but not necessarily by Docker, Inc. The larger community will have its way as it always does.

You could be right, of course. I generally don't trust a meaningful community of contributors to form around a modern-era VC-backed company (which is to say, "there are no Red Hats here"), so I'm much less hopeful.
