Docker vs Kubernetes
Docker started first, in 2013, 1 year before Kubernetes.
Why Docker lasted
- A Dockerfile is a unit of thought. Kubernetes did not replace that noun.
- Docker Hub plus the desktop app kept developers even after the orchestration wars.
Why Kubernetes lasted
- Google donated the Borg-shaped idea and every cloud had to speak it.
- It is ugly YAML and it won anyway, which is how you know it is infrastructure.
