Docker was originally called DotCloud. Which project name preceded Docker?

• A. ContainerD
• B. runc
• C. DotCloud
• D. Kubernetes

Answer: (C)

The name that came before Docker was DotCloud. Docker grew out of the DotCloud company as its containerization technology, and the project was later branded as Docker. The other items are later or separate parts of the container ecosystem (runc and containerd are runtimes derived from Docker later, Kubernetes is an orchestration system), so they aren’t the earlier project name.
