How Do You Think Docker Will Change Virtualization And Cloud Environments? Do You Think Cloud Technology Has A Set Trajectory, Or Is There Still Room For Significant Change? |

Answer» I think there are a lot of workloads that Docker is ideal for, as I MENTIONED earlier both in the hyper-scale world of many containers and in the dev-test-build use case. I fully expect a lot of companies and vendors to embrace Docker as an alternative form of virtualization on both bare metal and in the cloud. As for cloud technology’s trajectory. I think we’ve seen significant CHANGE in the last couple of years. I think they’ll be a bunch more before we’re done. The question of OpenStack and whether it will succeed as an IAAS alternative or DIY cloud solution. I think we’ve only touched on the potential for PAAS and there’s a lot of ROOM for growth and development in that space. It’ll ALSO be interesting to see how the capabilities of PAAS products develop and whether they grow to embrace or connect with consumer cloud-based products.
