I thought DotCloud renamed itself to Docker, and completely pivoted? I guess not

dotCloud did rename itself to Docker, but it sold off its original "dotCloud"-branded PAAS to cloudControl. cloudControl is shutting down the dotCloud service, but former dotCloud company (i.e. Docker) is still alive and well.
They did. It was in the article.

Yep ... but I wouldn't say it's a YC graduate shutting down. A company that bought a "product line" from them is shutting down.
Docker split out DotCloud to another company
