On: Is PaaS dead?

[wstrange]

Part of the challenge is that PasS platforms have quite a bit of vendor lock in.

I can foresee the growth of do-it-yourself PaaS, built on Docker, Kubernetes, etc.

Cloud Foundry is an installable opensource PaaS. You can use a hosted version or set up your own on AWS, Azure, OpenStack and I forget what else.

RedHat are packaging these for OpenShift Origin.

Disclaimer: I work for Pivotal, which is the major donor of engineering effort to Cloud Foundry.
