P.S.: I think tutum comes closest to what you describe. They act as a middle man and support Microsoft Azure, Digital Ocean, Amazon Web Services, Packet and SoftLayer as hosting providers. However, I'm not sure if it's a good thing that they have been bought by Docker at this early stage ..
- scprodigy 11y agoNot really, what I'm saying is more like DO, atop of secured container. Also, it is more of a VPS or IaaS, not have to be CaaS or Microservices.
- KickingTheTV 11y agoDisclosure: I've been working with Tutum since the initial team. Tutum was actually a container hosting service at first but we found there were a ton of technical challenges in multi-tenancy with hundreds/thousands of containers and it's hard to build a level of trust that larger IaaS providers have like AWS. Hosting puts you in direct competition with IaaS providers, while being a middle-man can provide more value-add and you get to work with the other providers to strengthen your solution.
- scprodigy 11y agoThe multenancy challenge comes from the lack of isolation in container. Therefore, people nest containers in VM and put a scheduler atop. But if there is secured, isolated container, we won't need the VM nor the scheduler, the container becomes the hosting platform, aka EC2, DO.
