Most underrated comment of the thread - this is all exactly right. Hubris and poor leadership were Docker's fail whales not the technology.

I agree that docker never got branding right. but the whole thing makes even less sense when you see this nugget:

"Mirantis will keep the Docker Enterprise brand alive, though, which will surely not create any confusion."

maybe signals it wasn't a done deal or similar? but still, I agree that none of this makes sense. why not just sell off all the bits? like you, wondering if that fell through.

sad end to a once tech darling.

Has anyone secured rights for the book yet?

also fairness to the original poster from what I recall mirantis at least to really play up the bad boy russian tech company angle. Always thought it was an odd marketing play.

I've heard of mirantis but legitimately forgot they were still in business. I think a good question is what happens when one dumpster fire gets put into another dumpster fire?
