Anyone have any further details about Oracle's announcement about the availability of docker images for the rdbms as well as multiple other tools? In particular I have questions around licensing. They're touting that this is great for developers to build quickly on their workstation, but if things are still licensed per core, licensing all cores it will possibly run on, it's of much less utility.

I do think it's fantastic that Oracle is trying to get up to date with modern deployment practices, getting us freed from the archaic install process. Any progress is great in my eyes. I'm just looking at it very skeptically before I start talking about it more with our devs. Is this just a PR spin, trying to get everyone excited about Oracle cloud?
In case you hadn't seen the announcement: https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/docker-oracle-041917.html <https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/docker-oracle-041917.html> ... and the official docker image repo: https://github.com/oracle/docker-images <https://github.com/oracle/docker-images>
Thank you,
Ryan
