Rkt didn't get much attention in 2017 at all. I only said that because 'rkt' was often portrayed as the anti-docker years ago, and it's really no longer a good way to look at the playing field.

It wasn't about making fun of rkt or anything. Also, I don't know, CRI has been in the works for ages at this point, as well as crio. It just seems like people who aren't paying attention in this space remember HN threads from 18-24 months ago where people thought rkt was going to be the savior from docker. It's just pretty out of date.

The comment about vagrant and a dedicated server embody an attitude that is just depressing to me. Yes, if you stick with old, functional technologies, you won't need to pay attention and/or learn anything new. And that's fine, if you're happy with it. There's a reason the rest of us moved on. Learning about CRI and knowing that rkt is dead and crio is the alternative to containerd is not that crazy of knowledge to have, or maybe I'm underestimating how much I know in the k8s space.
