Yeah, we were psyched to use it as a private cloud deployment tool and to manage some development environments. It represented a interesting middle ground between a container like setup (docker) and a distributed computing model like Storm/Disco.

A stack was run on it, however it lacked the polish, support and flexibility required to make it a platform worth investing in.

That is not to say that we thought the idea was bad but that it was nowhere near mature enough for production last year.

Given how Tahr has rolled out, we suspect most development effort was put into the mobile platform and a close integration of MaaS with the cloud in a box.
