This wasn’t an honest statement.
I should have stated, “I’m not particularly interested in Docker, so I haven’t spent time on it and am unaware that its a mainstream technology.”Obviously, our definitions of mainstream technology differ. From what I know, the vast majority of cloud users, regardless of whether it's a private cloud or Oracle cloud, AWS or Azure, are still using virtual machines. There aren't many applications which are being distributed within Docker containers. Yes, Docker is an exciting technology, but it remains to be seen what kind of a commercial success will it generate. For now, I am perfectly happy with vSphere 6 and the interface it provides me. When Docker develops such an interface, be present on as many a PC as vSphere 6 and be as easy to learn, I will agree that it is mainstream.
