There are definite holes in what can be done right now. Some projects give you all of the raw tools but none of the automatic management you need to keep something running. Others scale poorly in terms of human costs when it comes time to add new machines.

If you agree, then throw money at me and I'll build one for you. No, I'm not joking. Contact info is in my profile.

That's a good sum. You don't have to pay me all at once.
