Cloud Panel
summary
Panelists name concrete tradeoffs: Heroku runs on Amazon as a multi-tenant platform supporting 2.5–3 million apps, Engine Yard currently runs on EC2 and adds Azure and multi‑infra support, Cloud Foundry runs on Amazon for cost and stability and can sit on HP or vSphere, while Rackspace and HP sell OpenStack-based IaaS with OpenStack (Nova Swift Neutron) exposing REST APIs. Docker and BOSH appear as the orchestration/container tools, provisioning shifts from weeks to git push in five minutes, and 24/7 human “fractional expertise” support is a real product feature.
