There's much news in the container world with DockerCon and Red Hat having had conferences, plus Docker gets a new CEO. We also do a hindsight analysis of what wrong with the losers of the Cloud Wars. And, as always, recommendations from the three of us.

Some cloud stuff we need to read-on more.Check out Coté's summary of a recent Brian Gracely post on the OpenShift momentum.Cloud Rules Everything Around Me
As summarized by Derrick (via CNBC:AWS brought in $3.66 billion in revenue, which was up 42 percent from last year. However, year-over-year growth dropped from last year’s first quarter.Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” unit, which includes Azure, grew 11 percent, to $6.8 billion. Microsoft doesn’t break out Azure revenue specifically, but said Azure saw a 93 percent increase in revenue over last year.Google Cloud is buried somewhere in “Other Bets” on Alphabet earnings, a segment that grew 50 percent to $3.1 billion. What’s the Halo Effect on this? It’s easy to blame the big vendors for shying away from public cloud but it was some scary shit, business-case wise, back in 2008.Verizon sells cloud stuff to IBM.Docker is now Moby, wait what?

LinkDeep cut from James Hamilton, AWS Datacenter guruRe: Oracle “if you assume the big three are spending roughly equally, how can $1.7B compete with more than $10B when it comes to serving customers?”“2+1 redundancy is cheaper than 1+1 and, when there are 3 facilities, a single facility can experience a fault without eliminating all redundancy from the system. Consequently, whenever AWS goes into a new region, it’s usual that three new facilities be opened rather than just one with some racks on different power domains.”“latency is not the prime driver of very large numbers of regions”“being close to population centers and major communications hubs matters to most operators more than cooling costs”Canonical/Ubuntu priorities
