Are Red Hat / IBM better?
3 comments

Probably not better in so far as they're also trying to make a buck.

But IBM has pretty deep pockets - the kind where they could feasibly write off the bandwidth of a container image registry as a goodwill gesture and not bat an eye. Same with GitHub/Microsoft.

From recently history, the same cannot be said about Docker the company.

Pure gut feeling from having to work with employees from both companies, but yes. I feel like RedHat people care more about open source toooling.
Experienced sell-support-for-open-source business conservatively funneling enterprises into its support network vs increasingly desperate VC money young-ish startup doing things without being able to predict consequences.
