Containers are literally changing the world of software development and deployment. Building an effective container-first culture will play a key role in the success of your software organization in the future. While a cloud-first approach is the popular norm for most IT organizations, the container-first approach is picking up steam because of the cloud's portable nature and concerns over cloud vendor lock-in.

We believe the Docker Enterprise will become the platform of choice for informed enterprise buyers in the years to come. With its ability to support both Swarm and Kubernetes, it gives organizations a lot of options for starting and growing their container expertise and scale. Furthermore, container platforms are becoming foundational to most emerging technologies, including serverless, machine learning, blockchain, streaming, and IoT.
