Worry about vendor lock-in is real. RedHat OpenShift (yes yes IBM) is gaining momentum because of it. But the field is still wide open. And the burden will fall on small ISVs to provide open solutions around data portability, redundancy, security, and a host of other concerns. In the early days of Cloud technologies, the original vision was highly commoditized. You'd pull a Docker container from a registry hub and perhaps not even know where it ran. Perhaps even an exchange would handle pricing and performance. Instead, we have the Big 4 vendors in a highly fragmented space offering roughly the same services.
