How to build your own cloud while staying in business
summary
Slides claim a fast-moving PaaS market (uploader: two new Docker PaaS launched and one shuts down) and cite an unexpectedly large provider count from Pathfinder. The workflow builds immutable artifacts with Packer producing reproducible Docker images, provisions networks and DBs with Terraform, and schedules services with Nomad. The presenters hit repeatable builds, registries and deploy automation but note production parity is hard, service discovery is undeclared, and real systems need bug workarounds despite overall success.
