From another comment below, it's just a nice short title to convey that we're going back in time and not one to set your watch by.
reply We first submitted the article to the CACM a while ago.
The review process takes some time and "Twelve years of
Docker containers" didn't have quite the same vibe.
Makes sense! Thanks for working on it -- truly a wonderful paper!
replyYou’re right, it was 2014. I was there on HN when docker was announced by shykes. It was a godsend because I was getting bummed by the alternatives like LXC, juju charms or vagrant.
replyHere’s the announcement from 2013:
I still prefer LXC to docker. Improving libvirt and making virtualization a first-class OS feature with a library interface - vs. relying on an external tool and company interested in monetization - was and is the right approach.
replyNice find. Check out shykes commenting here on that thread!
