Docker Inc., the lead commercial sponsor behind the open-source Docker container application virtualization technology, is not yet profitable, but it will be sooner rather than later, according to CEO Ben Golub.
In a video interview at the DockerCon EU conference in Barcelona, Spain, Golub details the commercial model behind Docker and why it’s not a “unicorn,” or a company with a billion dollar valuation that isn’t likely to ever make money. Rather, Docker has a model that it is growing and it is building out a path toward a sustainable, profitable business for the long term.
