Docker’s new enterprise edition gives containers an out-of-the-box experience

correct me if I am wrong but is 1 year LTS for an EE viable? Will EE clients like that time frame?

Viable - probably.

Will we like it - definitely not.

Yeesh. Guess it's better than "nightly", which is what it sometimes feels like.

This basically reads like a press release. Any details on what would make this more attractive to enterprise customers other than maybe supporting a couple more hosts?

There are more details on the release blog post: https://blog.docker.com/2017/03/docker-enterprise-edition/

Can someone explain what is "out of box" experience about it?

It feels weird to me that their marketing pitch is "for you big enterprise customers we've made a simple to use version". That's home or small biz use, not enterprise. The idea of a dumbed-down/less features/no shape edges as being "enterprise" software is befuddling to - isn't it the exact opposite?

You read these articles too closely. You are meant to read between the lines.

Can you be more specific? What's in between those lines?

If there is a problem, you have a neck to choke.
