Docker has named Don Johnson as its new CEO, replacing Scott Johnston. Johnson's extensive experience at Oracle, where he evolved the company towards cloud services, positions him to oversee a strategic expansion of Docker's focus on developer tooling and container workflows. Johnson likened Docker to both an exciting startup and an essential component of the container ecosystem. Docker previously divested its enterprise business to refocus on catering to developers, establishing a range of new services while positioning itself against competitors like Kubernetes and OpenShift.
"Docker both feels like a cool new startup and the bedrock of the container native universe, prevalent now and moving towards ubiquitous, as cloud-native takes over the world."
"Johnson was instrumental in transitioning the company from its legacy on-premise roots to the cloud, setting up the OCI unit, and spearheading the company's resurgence these past few years."
