Deltacloud doesn’t require you to manage your own infrastructure (iI believe Open Shift, is built on deltacloud). Of course, running a hybrid cloud requires you to manage your infrastructure (at least part of it).

One of the differences is that something like Deltacloud still requires you to run your own servers and to pay for infrastructure costs. It seems like a pretty good management tool in certain respects, but it’s not a PaaS.

Why is this a better value proposition than Cloud Forms built on top of Deltacloud?
This solution is free unless you want support, and completely open source.
One is for the best parts is that it let’s you run a public-private hybrid if you so desire.

Way to go, spot on.
Non sticky cloud agnostic approach is the way to. You can run your MySQL based apps on AppFog using Xeround DBaaS on all of these great cloud providers. In fact Xeround also runs at Joyent, soon on many others. Zero management, HA anywhere, anytime, any scale, move around with a click of a button.

I haven’t used their product a lot, but I have messed around with it, the interface is great, and everything runs very fast. I like the overall “vibe” I get from the company, and they seem to have a great product. I hope things take off for them and they succeed.
