I agree, Docker is in a real pickle. Kubernetes has the momentum and it is decoupling from Docker rapidly.

Docker's biggest asset right now is that everyone has written Dockerfiles already, but unfortunately, Dockerfiles are terrible and people can't wait to get off of them.

Long-term, I expect the platform to be k8s + CoreOS + rkt. Docker's future, if anything, will be in hosting the image repository.

I have been using the Google container registry to store my private images. Costs just a few cents a month for my use case. If you don't want to pay the minimum 7$ per month for more than 1 private image.

I have been dabbling with that same thought for a while too. One thing I have not yet figured out, though, is what CoreOS' vision is for using rkt as a developer on Mac, something a lot of developers are.

rkt on OSX would be neat to see.

We're using Google Container Engine with containervm, which I understand is very similar to CoreOS.
