Sure, Docker and Kubernetes are fine tools for deploying and orchestrating an application into an environment you have full control over (typical SaaS scenario). Our "distribution" of Kubernetes is optimized for running in "hostile" unknown environments with varied networks, storage, etc. It comes in HA-configuration with self-updating and self-monitoring turned on. Secondly, once you have thousands of instances deployed across the globe, we give you unified and secure remote access to do ops in a scalable way. The true cost of going on-prem is not deployment (it's not that hard, you're right: Kubernetes does most of the heavy lifting). The true cost of going multi-region/on-prem is operations. And, of course, the security complications that come with it. Our OpsCenter tackles this problem: it gives you access to thousands of absolutely identical instances of your app, while staying compliant with on-site security policies. Give us a call, we'll have a solution engineer spend some time with your team and we'll do all of the integration work. The end result: you have the same codebase which runs in your own 5 AWS regions, plus 5000 on-prem locations, and you don't need to: a) fork your codebase b) hire a ton of ops engineers
