Thoughts about the state of Docker and the Docker ecosystem in general? Topic 2 - There is a post from Datadog called 8 Surprising Facts About Real Docker Adoption.

There is a series of posts Datadog put up about Docker that are worth a read. What are the challenges to monitoring Docker? (short container life, lots of tear up and tear down) You talk about a “Twilight Zone” of monitoring in traditional applicatications that cover the vm and the app but leave the container as a gap.
