Private & Hybrid Cloud Vendors
Private and hybrid cloud vendors provide solutions to enable customers to add elastic and as code capabilities to their on-premise infrastructure, similarly to the public cloud’s offerings.
RedHat OpenShift: OpenShift is RedHat’s answer to the need of a commercially supported Kubernetes implementation for on-premise (private cloud) use cases. Other than commercial support, a number of features are added such as VM orchestration, dashboards, installation of backing services using a push button approach and so on.
Mesosphere DC/OS: Mesosphere DC/OS is a private cloud environment based on Apache Mesos aimed at running multiple-paradigm workloads (e.g. vanilla Linux, VM-based, vanilla Docker, Kubernetes/Docker, etc)
Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF): Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) was initially a vendor implementation of Cloud Foundry (an open source take on Heroku’s paradigm). As the 2007-era Heroku concepts such as build packs and 12 apps are becoming obsolete, Pivotal is quickly trying to rebrand themselves as a Kubernetes and FaaS vendor whilst still touting their Heroku-like offering which has been now renamed as Pivotal Application Service (PAS).
