If you bought all of this pre-made from a vendor, you'd be tied to that vendor, subject to their pricing whims, support SLA, etc. Maybe they'd be multi-cloud, maybe not.

I don't want to buy it pre-made. I want to buy the coordination/orchestration software. And I don't want to spend forever in yaml/chef/ansible whatever to setup these things every company does. I want to download it and I want to run it. I'll give it a list of servers and some SSH keys. It can tell me if it needs more capacity. The dashboard can even be local.

That sounds like an open source collection of things, rather than a startup idea.

i like it though, could really help in some situations.
