At some point, you have to make a leap of faith. I take great comfort in the delivery and momentum of the Azure team inside of Microsoft. I'm optimistic that the future of Microsoft looks a lot like that than they have before.

That said, I could be completely wrong, and it's important to trust, but verify.

As a result, I'm pretty comfortable with the terms that ensure we protect our commitment to Open Source and in ensuring there is no special access given by partners, Microsoft or not. The project is the project, governed under the rules set forth by the community. Even members of Docker, Inc. have to advocate and fight for every change they make, as we do not believe in creating different classes of contribution.

Hope that helps, would love to chat more

The misalignment of interests is deeper than you think. That shouldn't affect this particular arrangement though; good luck!

You may be completely right! If there's something concrete you can point me to around things that are happening now, I'd appreciate that.

Time will tell, for now I'll remain optimistic and continue down the path we've started.
