If this is the same dotCloud I used to push to, the real value proposition are the friendliness represented in both the interface and the people behind it offering the most patient customer support a hopeless idiot like myself could wish for. It's hard to promote that stuff, but dotCloud was far and away the most accessible PaaS at the time - and may still be. It's not surprising that they're basing their tiers on it. it also looks like the Sandbox is back!

Maybe not exactly the same? The Docker technology was a by-product of the dotCloud product, which spun-off to create the company Docker, Inc to focus on Docker. Docker Inc sold dotCloud to the Berlin-based company cloudControl. This appears to be a facelift coming from the new leadership. Also, www.dotcloud.com references next.dotcloud.com with this language: "Take the new and improved dotCloud PaaS on Google Compute Engine for a test-drive." Their old FAQ said that containers were pushed to AWS East, so it looks looks like this is one thing that has changed. Actually, yes, here are some details on the move from AWS to Google Compute Engine: http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2014/12/dotcloud-provides-faster-more-reliable-PaaS-with-Google-Cloud-Platform.html http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2014/12/dotcloud-pro...

  Thanks. At the time, it seemed like dotcloud was totally done, so this is weird to see it again.

Thanks for the compliment! I ran the dotCloud support group from 2012 until we sold the platform, and we tried very hard to be approachable. I also worked with the acquiring engineers and found them to be excellent. They're super nice, care deeply about creating an excellent PaaS, and they're very experienced at ops and running cloudcontrol.de in Germany. I felt completely comfortable turning my customers over to them, so I'm sure they'll keep living up to the support you've come to expect.
