I can very safely tell you that this is not the case. There is massive money in Kubernetes right now, and the spending spree will continue, as non-traditional players (Financial services, health-care) drive adoption. This despite the fact we are coming up to a end of a financial cycle is going to look considerably less rosey for some of these companies.

Well Docker has just taken new funding, which makes it seem like they're not looking for an exit in the immediate future.

In general though seems likely there will be a load of consolidation across the container space over the next year or so.
