When you say "based on", how much is layered on top?

(current PaaS person here)

We've maintained the core Cloud Foundry experience, and added value around the edge with service brokers, good documentation, support, app autoscaling (using the CF-blessed autoscaler, which doesn't come "in the box"), some additional metrics, and a couple other bits.

That's interesting. Where I work we've got an in-house deployment of a CF fork (public, not ours) which... yeah, nobody likes, and AWS and GCP are getting more of our money every year as we shift stuff off.

Just the autoscaling wouldn't be enough to keep us on it, but running it on someone-else's-infrastructure with a proper support model might.

Slightly OT: but how many badgers are we talking about here? This many? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI

At least 4, but varying based on badger availability and amount of work needing to be done
