I don't think the financial incentives are particularly relevant; it's the idea of containerization which is here to stay now. All across the different software stacks certain modifications are being made so that applications can be containerized. For instance, FreeBSD can now run OCI containers in FreeBSD Jails. OCI came from Docker, but FreeBSD Jails has no shared history with Docker. If you look further, you can see similar trends to support this. Distributed computing is more relevant with projects like Kubernetes, and Erlang is having a revival. Likewise with functional programming languages: because you can't directly have long-lasting state inside a container, being able to create a pipeline of immutable containers is valuable. All that is to say that looking at either Docker or Podman itself might be missing out on a lot of really exciting developments that aren't necessarily as easy to spot. Here's one of my favourites from 2023, dynamic resource control for containerized applications: https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/container_cgr... I wish you the best of luck! |
