Here's the signup link for Joyent's hosted container service: https://www.joyent.com/lp/preview https://www.joyent.com/lp/preview. We're seeing the initial explosion of the microservices ecosystem right now. I've been spending most of my time over the last few years thinking about trusted decentralized infrastructure and have decided that microservices, including hosted ones, could be one possible solution for instantiating trust as a proper 'knob' of the cloud. This Intracloud, if I'm allowed to use a new buzz term, will be smeared across 100s (1000s?) of datacenters world-wide. Have a high-trust use-case? Run it in a German or Dutch datacenter. Have a high-efficiency use case? Run it on a friend's cluster for free. I believe in this idea of the 'trust knob' enough that I sought out a job with the folks at https://giantswarm.io/ https://giantswarm.io/, where I am now a dev evangelist. We are a German hosted microservices stack which provides a Docker platform. Alpha signup is here: https://giantswarm.io/request-invite/ https://giantswarm.io/request-invite/. Demo of it in action here: https://github.com/kordless/swarm-ngrok#ngrokn-giant-swarm https://github.com/kordless/swarm-ngrok#ngrokn-giant-swarm I also hacked together a SF Microservices meetup last Friday: http://www.meetup.com/SF-Microservices/ http://www.meetup.com/SF-Microservices/. 139 people have already joined. Would like some feedback for content! Planning on mid-April for the first event. I'm excited to see what happens with this market in the next 6 months!
