So Bitnami is essentially packaging open source applications, deploying them in one-click onto a 3rd party cloud host (Google or AWS it looks like), and then charging people by the month for doing this?

Sounds great for people who just want to set something up quickly, but am I missing some other point? I would rather put in a few hours to get something setup myself, create an AMI (Or equivalent on another provider), and then I wouldn't be getting charged monthly.

I'm probably not the target audience here though.

Bitnami applications are free to download/launch in the cloud, and you are never locked in to using Bitnami.

On top of this, we provide management of your cloud hosting with scheduled backups and monitoring as a paid service[1].
