If running your app on Cloud Foundry is an irreversible architectural decision, then those of us who work on it messed up. CF is meant to provide a platform, not an API. The whole point is to liberate the developer from caring about how the app is brought to life so that they can focus on building the app. For operators the point is that no badly-behaved app can bring down production for everyone, so they can lower the drawbridge and let developers move faster. I imagine that my counterparts at Red Hat would say the same about OpenShift. It's there to let you go faster. Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, the majority donor of engineering to Cloud Foundry.
