Folks for whom a business relationship with Amazon is not possible because of competitive reasons, for one. Regulatory compliance is another.
There're also some big names using Joyent (one of whom is a Fortune 1 company last I heard…) whose policies endorsing third parties are too restrictive to allow their trademarks to be used there.

- nrr 11y agoI actually can't confirm that! What I said in my comment previous ("Fortune 1 company") is exactly what I heard over the course of one of Bryan Cantrill's other talks. That said, though, I'm sure that'd be the intended inference.

- dmourati 11y agoMy understanding is that a portion is on OpenStack, a portion is on legacy bare-metal, and a portion is in the Public Cloud (Rackspace and presumably some Joyent per this thread).
