7. Service Providers Fight with Cloud Giants
Service Providers have a hard time preventing
customers from moving to top clouds:
● VMware is too expensive to make money
and stay competitive
● AWS, Google and Azure have strong value
propositions and it’s difficult to overcome
them
● OpenStack and Open Source are too
complex and require time on platform
development instead of focusing on
business

Resizing of the same container on the fly is easier, cheaper and faster
than moving to a larger VM.
