3. Software-as-a-Service
• Pros:
• Automatically updated and upgraded
• Network effect
• Cons:
• Have to pay up front for large contracts
• Opex instead of Capex affects EBITDA
• No control of data
• APIs are cumbersome and expensive
• Delegated security
• Multitenant great for vendors, bad for customers
• Few opportunities left for startups!

4. Containers-as-a-Service
• Runs in your data center
• Runs in your private cloud
• Abstracts out operating system
• Manages workflow between dev,
stage, prod

6. Kubernetes, Swarm, etc. Changes the
Deployment Game
• No more complicated
installation process
• No more ensuring
dependencies are correct
• Revolutionized versioning
and upgrades

7. Containers-as-a-Service:
Vendor Manages App, Customer Owns Data
• Especially in the EU!

8. Why Containers-as-a-Service are the Future

9. Deploying as a Hybrid Cloud

10. Using Micro Containers for Micro Services
• Your own private Amazon
Lambda
• Services are inherently scalable
• Apps delivered as microservices
on top of microcontainers come
with a full direct API
• New apps can be constructed
from mix of micro services

11. The Near Future
• Instead of buying SaaS,
companies will buy services
that they add to their OWN
cloud
• New apps can be composed
of microservices hosted as
microcontainers
• Data can be easily
aggregated and cross-
referenced without
complicated ETL

12. Play in the Future, Not the Past
