VMware is now available on AWS, and they've been buying up quite a few containerization companies and incorporating that into vsphere 7 (ex: Tanzu).
And even with public cloud providers out there, there will always be a need for on-prem hybrid cloud where VMware will have a role. I mean, you gotta have some things on premesis.
Even on premise it seems like Docker containers could be used in many of the same situations one would have previously used traditional virtualization.
Yeah, but what are you running your docker host system on?
There are so many advantages to hardware virtualization that even if you're all-in on containers, you would probably still not run bare metal host operating systems.
Plus I would be surprised if there was any organization of any decent scale that didn't have some need for things which were not docker compatible.
