Make no mistake the battle lines after the container orchestration wars have been redrawn above the value line. All the companies that previously focused on pure containers or container orchestration are now focused on creating a coherent development and day 2 operational experience for the K8s runtime.

Docker is refocusing on creating a coherent development experience on the assumption that the container runtime and Kubernetes-based container orchestration is a commodity. The focus will be on providing tools to manage application development at scale in what is rapidly becoming a very complex coordination problem.Mesosphere now D2iQ
