Episode Details

Docker’s new enterprise SKUs and, once again, the open-core model. Also: IPO mania with Snap and MuleSoft. In discussion Docker EE, we start with a discussion on how socket-based pricing may seem goofy, but all pricing schemes are pretty weird, so you gotta choose one. We then try to dissect what exactly you get with the enterprise edition and conclude that we should have done more prep work.

Mid-roll

• Coté wrote about Java at The Register.
• Coté: CF Summit - June 13 to 15th, 2017 - register with the code cfsv17cote for 20%!
• Matt:
  • DevOps Melbourne March 28th Talking Compliance as Code
  • ChefConf May 22-24 - early-bird pricing through March 31st
• Coté: check out Pivotal’s DIY platform paper. tl;dr: for $7m/year with a two year on-ramp, you could build you own, or just buy Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Many of our customers have gone down this path and ended up not wanting to support the life of their own platform...which doesn’t match the pace of innovation that the Cloud Foundry community can follow.

Docker Goes Enterprise

• Community Edition (CE) & Enterprise Edition (EE)
• Version jumps from 1.13.1 to 17.03 for monthly releases, very enterprisey.
• Love the socket-based pricing
• Solomon weighs in vs. Kubernetes - what the fuck are these nerds even arguing about?
• TPM has some good coverage
• Whichard’s Maxim of Enterpriseyness: Well, they added AD support. DONE-AND-FUCKIN-DONE!

MuleSoft Prepares to IPO

• Link
• I don’t get the proposed $100 million IPO when they took $259 million in funding. Please explain it to me.

OpenNMS on FLOSS Weekly

• Open source monitoring for years and years

HashiCorp News

• Making Money With Freemium
• “The question of how to make money from Open Source is a vexed one, with Red Hat frequently held up as the poster child of commercial open source success, yet it remains a lonely occupant of the category "Open Source Companies That Are Profitable”
• Good Narrative fallacy going here: "The open source products are really focused on the practitioner," McJannet said. "The enterprise products are focused on the needs of the organisation."
• August, 2016: “Hashimoto said HashiCorp has just finished its first 7-figure revenue quarter” Up from “triple-digit”/month in July 2015. So, whatdwegot: $2-3m run-rate?
