Azure Container Instances
What&#x27;s really got me excited lately is the combination of Ansible (for dirty work) and container orchestration systems like Kubernetes&#x2F;Rancher&#x2F;etc (also, tools that go from one orchestrated host to many like dokku and flynn).<p>While I appreciate the competition from GCE and Azure, what I really want is a tool that will run in any one of their clouds, but offers the same ease-of-management, and lets me go from one cloud to another or to a private cloud without breaking a sweat. I want the competition to be 70% on price and 20% on added-management-value and 10% on bundled services.<p>Terraform is basically this tool, but I want an even easier interface, terraform still feels somewhat too specific to me -- I don&#x27;t want to even have to write config or specify some &quot;aws&quot; adapter that will make my config work on some provider. I want instant, multi-cloud (possibly) heroku, using only the network, hard-drive-space, ram, and lxc &quot;primitives&quot;.<p>Someone (maybe me if I ever find time) just needs to get to work making F&#x2F;OSS versions of all the bundled tech (ex. blob storage, cloud function runners, dynamically configurable DNS resolvers, simple alerting, etc) that runs in a container, and then the question just becomes &quot;where can I get the cheapest most performant VPS that will host my containers&quot;.
