It reads as an extended advertisement for you company's services, and your comment doesn't really respond to the statement of the person you replied to. He said CloudFoundry's installation instructions were bad, then you replied as if he said he was unsure if CF "fit his needs" and was looking for more ways to try it out, which is a pretty salesy response. I think mostly it's a question of tone and length. If you had a couple sentences acknowledging that the installation instructions sucked, and saying he should go with BOSH, you probably wouldn't have gotten downvoted.
- jacques_chester 11y agoThanks. I was too emotionally invested. I actually work for Pivotal Labs, not Pivotal Cloud Foundry (though as of this week I'm on secondment to a PCF-related team). As a consulting engineer I get to see a lot of projects in a lot of companies. My eagerness for PaaSes comes from seeing a variety of approaches. Just using a PaaS makes large, expensive, disruptive discussions simply disappear. Those who go through my history will note that I take pains to mention other PaaSes, usually Heroku and OpenShift. When I talk about hosted Cloud Foundry I usually namecheck ours and IBM's.
