It's time to reconsider going on-prem

Yes but if you are targeting an on-prem solution toward certain customers, let's say enterprise, wouldn't you want to target the platform they are most likely to be running? Maybe that is k8s, but OpenShift and CloudFoundry seem much more enterprise-y to me.. How do you choose? How do you NOT choose?

If running your app on Cloud Foundry is an irreversible architectural decision, then those of us who work on it messed up.

CF is meant to provide a platform, not an API. The whole point is to liberate the developer from caring about how the app is brought to life so that they can focus on building the app. For operators the point is that no badly-behaved app can bring down production for everyone, so they can lower the drawbridge and let developers move faster.

I imagine that my counterparts at Red Hat would say the same about OpenShift. It's there to let you go faster.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, the majority donor of engineering to Cloud Foundry.

I feel you're underestimating the effort required to support an "on-prem" application across platforms.

I'm happy to re-estimate.

What am I meant to be estimating, exactly?
