But does this lock you in to Amazon?

Trying to run a DCOS/marathon or K8s cluster is not trivial. Last time I looked, every service out there basically spun up a Docker machine with some auto-magic cert generation.

Surely there are other services out there which will just run containers, allowing you to deploy from a k8s or marathon template? What are the other options?

Most AWS services IME offer a fair amount of portability. My high-level point is: I just want tools to build things. Not to obsess over the tools I use the build them.

That said, I don't have specific enough domain knowledge to answer your questions or suggest alternatives.

Sadly even giants like Rackspace are moving to being managers of AWS services. It’s hard to beat amazon’s pricing at scale, even if this is a touch over priced.

Got a cite for rackspace reselling aws resources?
