A little off topic, but I wonder how long it will be before MS acquires Docker Inc. Seems like an even better fit for them now that they own GitHub. GitHub + Docker Hub on the developer engagement side and Docker Enterprise on the traditional enterprise side.

I'm wondering how much the OCI and CRI-O has impacted Docker's value proposition. Docker Hub seems more and more like the real product, though I guess you could argue that the container runtime was never really a product in the first place.

Private repos on Docker Hub is definitely a product, especially if you provide a seamless path for moving from source code on GitHub to images on Docker Hub to containers deployed in the cloud or on premise.

MS could certainly also do good business selling Docker's friendly Enterprise orchestration tools (including their new Kubernetes based tool) which check all the Enterprise requirements for security, policy, identity management etc.

Docker the company is a lame duck, and docker the software is being rapidly supplanted by podman and buildah. There would be no point.
