Disclosure: 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.
