Docker

“Containers aren't safe. You need sandboxes. This is why. The big container company, Docker said, Hey, themselves said containers aren't safe. You better put in a sandbox.”

“And if you look at E to B and you look at Docker, they're probably the two best at understanding all that stuff. So you start there because if you don't get the sandbox right, forget everything else.”

“Docker containers, not really a true security boundary for one. But the other is like, if you are running real applications, a lot of times those applications use Docker and then you have to think about Docker and Docker, which is like really weird. And so I t…”

“Most of the tooling right now is kind of like stacked up, like you're stacking entropy on top of entropy on top of entropy, right? So you have like Docker and cube and then like Ansible scripts and all of these other things, right?”

“I don't run it myself outside of a Docker container where I set it up to safely poke it and see what it can do.”

“One of my companies, Docker has been moving dramatically toward this as they move into AI, which is a consumption based model.”

“And then they'd be like, oh, you know, they, you know, they'd realize we can just dockerize that code run put it in a container. So it's running on a different system and take a look at the sanitized output. And now we're completely secure. So in that case, pr…”

“Behind the scenes, we've actually launched a persistent Linux Docker container for you and attached it to a unique URL for you. And so you actually now have your own computer. It's basically a VPS that you're now running this in. And so you can install softwar…”

“Docker itself isn't a security boundary. You don't want to be relying on that”

“Now, the interesting thing is the industry, nobody made money on either Docker or Kubernetes. I mean, there were some startups, right? But really, there was no big company that was created out of that.”

“At some point Docker basically stopped innovating and I left and the ecosystem continued around containers, but it didn't actually Pick up where we left off. Everything towards applying container tech to development kind of stopped.”

“Docker file was something we designed as a stopgap prototype. Thinking, oh, we'll clean this up later in, in 2013. You know, it's been more than 10 years. Compose was a clone of a clone that we acquired into the team and, like, stitched on top, and then as soo…”

“Ideally, the thing that we want is to always run code in a Docker container, and then it has freedom and you can kind of snapshot, you know, with other kind of tools later on top, you can snapshot, rewind, do all this stuff. Unfortunately, working with a Docke…”

“We can't really use Docker and Kubernetes. So we're going to have to throw that out and probably going to have to build our own file system, which we did pretty early in a build our own scheduler and build our own container runtime. So that was like basically …”

“These Docker two awesome things will give you an image that's like, oh, 60 to a hundred meg, you know, maybe more, you know. And our OS, you know, kind of clocks in, I think we're in like a, maybe, maybe a megabyte or less or something like that.”

“So we built our own, we threw out Kubernetes out the window. We threw out Docker out the window. We built our own File system in order to optimize for how container images are distributed. We built our own scheduler in order to maintain this pool of workers an…”

“It would have taken me. You know, several hours to figure out some things that take 10 minutes if you could just ask exactly the question you want the answer to.”

“I spin up a Docker container. I run the con whatever the model told me the output to do is. I feed the output back into the model. I repeat this many rounds, and I check at the very end, you know, does the git commit history show that it is correctly cherry pi…”

“We had a company called Docker. When we invested, they were just shy of five million. They're roughly just shy of two hundred million today. And, you know, it's basically between 18 and 24 months.”

“You take a look at a company like Docker. It's about 80% of the world's container container container images and container desktop environment systems.”

“I was the first check into Docker. That's a whole nother story... I was in the first round with Docker. I mean, I remember meeting with Solomon and those guys at Founders Den on third, when it was like three people in a room. And yes, we did get recapped and I…”

“I think the magic of Docker is not really in the software. It's just like the standard that people have agreed on, like, here are a bunch of keys for a JSON document, basically. And you know, that was the magic of, like, the metaphor of real containerization a…”

“Dockerfiles are hard enough for software developers to write. I'm saying this with love as somebody who works on Docker and, like, works on Dockerfiles but it's really hard to use, and you need to know a bunch about Linux, basically, because you're running a b…”

“It turns out, like, when you start a Docker container, like, first of all, like, most Docker images are, like, several gigabytes, and, like, 99% of that is never going to be consumed.”

“Docker is, is, is from what you see out there is a company that can go public the next two years, two to three years.”

“So last time I did an all hands meeting at Docker was three years ago, and there were 60 employees that, that we'd spun out of the prior company, and the valuation was zero. So we'd gone from over a 1,000,000,004, 1,000,005 to zero, and I was working with some…”

“In short order, Peter goes on to do Twitter, Docker, Zora, Hortonworks, New Relic, Elastic.”

“Connectors for materializations are essentially Docker container plugins.”

“I was doing consulting on my free time while at Talker, and there was a fund that reached out to me that had lost the passphrase to a 1.5 million dollar Bitcoin wallet and offered me 20% if I could break into it.”

“Implementing those technologies does not give you those outcomes we talked about. We actually looked at people doing mainframe stuff. You can achieve these results with mainframes. Equally, you can use the, you know, Kubernetes and, you know, Docker and micros…”

“The roots there are actually, well, the roots lie actually at Google. So, four or five years ago, Google contributed, ah, cgroups to the Linux kernel. And cgroups are the foundation for what is now Docker, right?”

“Our customers will range from Accenture, McKinsey, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Amana, Maytag Remington, ElectroLox Fisher & Paykel. So a lot of consumer brands, a lot of software companies. So most of the software unicorns, Zora, Domo, Docker they use MindTouch as …”

“When we were in the business model of dot cloud, that wasn't happening. We were subscale. Amazon was competitive in a way that I think it was clear to some of us that the business was no longer viable.”

“We would have never imagined that in less than a year, you know, Docker would achieve ubiquity, and now it's a, you know, household name for developers”

“Yeah, it's less of a pure data company, but it's certainly a foundational technology that's making it easier for developers to work with big data systems.”

“We actually looked at our data set for adoption, and so things we extracted are number of containers on average, or distribution of containers per machine, which I think the average was about four”

“In my area in particular containers are now the new thing. So you see companies like Mesosphere and Docker and CoreOS coming up and really Trying to supplement, but truly the, what they're trying to do is completely replace very, very large companies like VMwa…”
