#Docker Store is the place to discover and procure trusted, enterprise-ready containerized software – free, open source and commercial.
Docker Store is the evolution of the Docker Hub, which is the world’s largest container registry, catering to millions of users. As of March 1, 2017, we crossed 11 billion pulls from the public registry! Docker Store leverages the public registry’s massive user base and ensures our customers &8211; developers, operators and enterprise Docker users get what they ask for. The Official Images program was developed to create a set of curated and trusted content that developers could use as a foundation for building containerized software. From the lessons learned and best practices, Docker recently launched a certification program that enables ISVs, around the world to take advantage of Store in offering great software, packaged to operate optimally on the Docker platform.

The Docker Store is designed to bring Docker users and ecosystem partners together with

Certified #Containers with ISV apps that have been validated against Docker Enterprise Edition, and comes with cooperative support from Docker and the ISV
Enhanced search and discovery capabilities of containers, including filtering support for platforms, categories and OS.
Self service publisher workflow and interface to facilitate a scalable marketplace.
Support for a range of licensing models for published content

Publishers with certified content on Docker Store include: AVI Networks, Cisco, Bleemeo, BlobCity DB, Blockbridge, CodeCov, CoScale, Datadog, Dynatrace, Gitlab, Hedvig, HPE, Hypergrid, Kaazing, Koekiebox, Microsoft, NetApp, Nexenta, Nimble, Nutanix, Polyverse Portworx, Sysdig, and Weaveworks
The simplest way to get started is to go check out Docker Store!

Using Docker Store
For developers and IT teams building Docker apps, the Docker Store is the best place to get the components they need available as containers. Containerization technology has emerged as a strong solution for developers, devops and IT &8211; and enterprises especially need assurances that software packages are trusted and “just works” when deployed. The Docker Certification program takes containers and #plugins through an end-to-end testing process and provides collaborative support for any potential issues. Read more about the certification program here!

Enhanced Discovery: Easily search for a wide range of solutions from Docker, ISV containers or plugins. Use filters and categories to search for specific characteristics
Software Trials: Where available, free trials of commercial software (including Docker) are available from the Docker Store.
Community Content: Developers can continue to browse and download from Docker Hub public repos from the Docker Store. The Docker Community is very vibrant and active, and community images will be accessible from the Docker Store.
Notifications: Alerts and updates are available to manage subscriptions of Docker Store listings including patches, fixes or new versions.

Publish Content to Docker Store
From large ISV with hundreds of products to a small start up building new tools, Docker Store provides a marketplace to package and distribute software and plugins in containers ready for use on the Docker platform. Making their tools more accessible to the community of millions of Docker users and accelerating their time to value with these partner solutions.
In addition, Publishers gain the following benefits from the Docker Store:

Access to a globally scalable container distribution service.
Path to certification for software and plugin content to differentiate the solution from ecosystem and to signal additional value to end users.
Visibility and analytics including managing subscribers and sales reports.
Flexible fulfillment and billing support with “Paid via Docker” and BYOL (Bring your own License) models. You focus on creating great software and we take care of the rest.
Reputation management via Ratings and Reviews.

Getting started as a publisher on Docker Store is as simple as 1-2-3!

LAX Is Raking In Millions From Uber And Lyft

Ridehail companies have quickly become a new windfall for LAX, which made nearly $22.8 million last year off fees from Uber and Lyft trips, compared to just $3.3 million from the taxi industry, according to data obtained by BuzzFeed News.

LAX, the second-busiest US airport, requires Uber and Lyft to pay a $4 fee – passed on to riders in their fares – for each pickup and drop-off. Taxis, meanwhile, add a $4 fee to airport pickups, $1.70 of which is passed along to the airport. The ride-hail companies did 2.2 million pickups last year, compared to 1.9 million by taxis.

The LA City Council approved a plan in December 2015 to allow ridehail companies to pick up passengers at the airport. As part of that agreement, the airport wrote in a minimum fee requirement of $25,000 per month per company – a baseline they are far exceeding.

“I could see other airports looking at LAX…and thinking ‘wow, we can charge these a surcharge and we’re going to raise some money this way,’ ”said David King, a transportation and planning policy researcher at Arizona State University. “Airports are trying to be sensitive to taxi operators, who have been good partners for them for a long time, and they don’t want to run the taxis out of business. But clearly the market is shifting toward Uber and Lyft.”

Bob Blumenfield, a city council member who supported the proposal to allow ride-hail companies to pick up passengers at LAX, said that “revenue-wise for the airport, it’s certainly been a windfall in some regards.”

Many airports charge Uber and Lyft fees to operate. At LAX, the money from fees is used to maintain its roads and traffic infrastructure, according to Frederick Badlissi, a spokesperson for the airport.

The weekly trip data also sheds additional light on the LA taxi industry’s steady decline. Between 2012 — the year Uber and Lyft began operating in LA — and 2015, taxi trips dropped 30%. During the week of January 2, 2016, taxicabs made 51,449 pickups at LAX, compared to an aggregate of 15,527 for Uber and Lyft. The week of November 26, their lowest point in 2016, taxicabs did just 25,386 pickups, compared to ride-hail’s 47,761.

“When Uber and Lyft came to Los Angeles…a lot of the drivers shifted the bulk of their business to the airport,” said Eric Spiegelman, president of the LA Taxicab Commission. When the airport began allowing Uber and Lyft to operate there, the commission attempted to convince taxi companies to reduce fares in order to better compete. But taxi drivers, worried that lowering fares would cut business even further, pushed back.

“We’ve been trying to help them adapt,” Spiegelman said.
