People are much more interested in running PaaS in-house than not in-house. We see a lot of interest in PaaS but very little interest necessarily in running PaaS on cloud infrastructures. I think broadly, this is going to be much more of the era of private cloud infrastructure as a service, more so than PaaS. PaaS is still in its early days, much earlier days than IaaS.

Raining during SXSW
# SXSWIt's SXSW time in Austin which is always enjoyable. Lots of folks come to town as I'm sure you, dear reader, know. It's popular to complain. - a sentence that could stand on it's own - about it, but I have no beef. I'm lucky enough - so lucky! - to get invited to the #meatup party each year and it's a blast to get some free drinks and meat on top of Fogo de Chão.

Here’s the last bit of the column:
DigitalOcean gets $37.2m from a16z, with ~100k customers
Some pundits may argue that it is also going up against Amazon Web Services, but this is not the case: at around 5,000 Intel-powered Dell and SuperMicro servers the company fields around five percent of Rackspace’s fleet, and at most one per cent of Amazon’s.
…
This funding caps off a period of torrential growth for the company. In January 2013, it had about 2,000 customers and by the end of the year it was closer to 100,000, Uretsky said.

In theory, the cloud abhors middleman. We’ll see.
