Another company that does this - very little marketing - is https://www.replicated.com . I don't get paid for recommending them but they do great work (some of our clients are theirs etc).

I'm doing a contract for one of their clients, it's quite a challenge to develop against that.

We've had the opposite experience using Replicated for npm's on-prem npm Enterprise software.

I was originally trying to build our Enterprise solution using Ansible, targeting a few common OSes (Ubuntu, Centos, RHEL); headaches gradually began to pile up, surrounding the "tiny" differences in each of these environments -- I'm VERY happy to offload this work.

It took me a little while to wrap my head around best practices regarding placing our services in Docker containers, but once I was over this conceptual leap I was quite happy.

Sandstorm.io is another. FWIW, we've been talking about these types of startups coming for a few years now. It's probably a few years out, but on-prem (or what I call the Intercloud) is definitely going to be bigger than anything we've seen yet.
