it's looks like just control panel for all your clouds. If you have only aws, i don't see any profit of using this.

As your business grows at some point it may be cheaper to run your own cloud (OpenStack or something else), and you can start migrating your workloads with a PaaS layer like this.

At my previous employer the loaded TCO for running in-house OpenStack was 45-50% of AWS (the company used both).

Are you sure about that? Did you factor in power?

"Loaded TCO" means gear, space, power, cooling, transit, people... Those are high-level, and I don't remember a bunch of things that went into the 5-year TCO model but it was complex.

If you have the talent and scale it's certainly doable, and like I said, we were at less than half of AWS. There are plenty of examples, one that comes to mind that is NOT hyper-scale is Server Fault.

IMO, it is more than that. It allows you to model your application (currently supports these software stacks http://oneops.com/integrations.html#software) in a cloud agnostic way and manages it's life-cycle
