Conclusions

Everyone wants a pony, i.e., faster software delivery

Use of CI/CD is low in the donkey-scape, but catching up

Think of your software delivery pipeline as a core business

process, your platform – optimize all of it!

Containers are having a fascinating effect on this space

Interest in containers is growing, spreading down the pipe

Source: Docker, Inc.; see Andrew Shafer’s “Containers: What’s New, What Isn’t, What Matters?” for historic context.

2014 in Review

• 18.8K% growth for Container Downloads (to 102.5M)

• 2.2K% growth on Projects with Dockerfiles on GitHub (to 49,642)

• 1.2K% growth on # Dockerized Apps (to 71, 379)

• Rocket and early pot-holes along the hype-cycle
