You move from AWS to something else that runs on AWS I mean what can you gain from that? Definitively not the price / resiliency.

  Cheaper to move workloads onto your own gear sometimes. AWS margin is insane (upwards of 30-40%).

    28.5% according to this article: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/02/01/how-amazoncom-incs-cloud-business-is-doing-in-5-nu.aspx http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/02/01/how-amazonc...

    Yet AWS is much cheaper than vCloud Air. Although it's hard to compare, due to the way it's usually bundled with ISP agreements. This service will either need to choose between being much more expensive than raw AWS, and effectively killing Air overnight, regardless of the current claims.

      Ehh, in the end, cloud orchestration is only going to get easier (lowest common denominator of primitives) and as long as you don't marry yourself to cloud provider-specific tooling, you'll be able to push your VMs and/or containers to where you can optimize for performance, cost, whatever. I think containers are hyped _far greater_ than the benefit that they provide, and I still think it'd be swank if you could have CDNs retrieve containers and run them at the POPs if your workflow allows for it. Interesting times and all that jazz.
