Building a cloud from the ground up is no small task, even more so when you build it on your own hardware, and your own virtualization technology.

Any idea who these people are / this company is? Seems to have come out of virtually nowhere.

It probably just seems like they came out of nowhere because there's been some confusing change in how their technology is referred to because they have a couple different projects — so maybe confusing between Hyper, Hypernetes (a Kubernetes distro), and now more accurately Hyper.sh. We wrote a couple articles in late 2015 profiling them, and that coverage upticks again this month. http://thenewstack.io/tag/hyper-sh/

James, from Hyper here. We have kept a low profile up until now with marketing, because we were so focused on building the tech. But moving forward you will hear more about the team involved- the who, the why, and the how? Hope you try us out!

Looks an awful lot like Heroku.

There's some poor English and they list a Chinese office too. Probably not Heroku.

Native-English speaking Hyper team member here. We were founded in Beijing but have since spread to NYC.

Could you point me to the poor-English in question?

> This guide shows how you can launch a full functional Jenkins server in one minute And then configure this Jenkins works with you Github account.

Thanks for catching that. Will address.

Heroku docker support is still in beta: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and...

Outside of that you're limited to specific stacks.

Actually, you're not limited to specific stacks on Heroku. There are a number of options.

You can use our officially supported languages: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#officially-...

You can create a Docker image and deploy it via our container registry: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and...

You can create your own buildpack: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#creating-a-...

Or use a buildpack created by the community: https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks

Hey jbryum, thanks for clarifying.
