The article tries to sell it to people who can't run Docker locally (e.g. locked down permissions in enterprise environments, slow old laptop), but hasn't it already been possible to use remote Docker engines? So the news is that they're offering to host those remotes now, right?

Wait a minute, wasn't this effectively the business model of dotcloud before they became Docker Inc?

Man this would have crushed in 2017.

It seems like people will do anything to avoid running Linux locally, even when depending on Linux software.

Why don't they just sell docker containers in the cloud? Why are they wrapping it up as a business-only local development compliance thing? And since they haven't published any pricing, why is it so expensive?
