Docker launches Testcontainers on former rival Red Hat's OpenShift As the IT industry faces an inflection point thanks to AI, lessons can be learned from Docker in how a company can - or must - pivot in the face of a changing reality. Scott Johnston, longtime CEO of Docker, was at last week's Kubecon event to talk up the arrival of Testcontainers on Red Hat's OpenShift – a handy development …
Employer has said architecturally Docker is not part of our infrastructure going forward - which basically means they don't want to pay for Docker Desktop licences. So we'll move to an alternative in the short term. It's been interesting to see how much this multi-billion dollar company will spend to avoid $100 per seat for develoeprs. Really can't see them paying $50 a month for AI for us any time soon. Probably tell us to find an opensource version!
It's not just the software. Docker Hub pulls are throttled per what Docker calculates to be an end-user. Try to use Docker commercially without paying anything and you'll hit your limit 30 seconds into the work day.
The business price is steep, in my opinion. I know Docker is getting to be quite complex, especially with the MacOS and Windows VMs, but it forever has rough edges of an open source project. It's really difficult to depend on it commercially. Upgrades come with silently breaking changes. Random bugs may disappear for months then suddenly spring back to ruin your month.
