         | It takes champions and a lot of focus to get something like
         | this started. You have to have a third party to provide support
         | and expertise or build up the knowledge internally (and for
         | these tools that's often expensive.) It takes a lot to find
         | good ways to start. Many companies I've worked with don't want
         | to sign a contract to start experimenting with the tools to
         | start building knowledge internally. This is how you end with
         | managed platform offerings.
         | 
         | This is also how you get one person championing the idea, and
         | having the ability to 'just try it' without going through sales
         | or contacting the company is great. This is how I originally
         | started using Rancher and then Harvester.
         | 
         | EKS Anywhere has a similar support model, and is also very
         | attractive.
         | 
         | The DoD has been doing great things in my opinion with Platform
         | One, which has similar focus https://p1.dso.mil/

         | Its a really good OS, and the quality of care is unsurpassed. I
         | have yet to find an uninformed or unprepared support
         | specialist. Their turnaround time is great, and they seem
         | proactive in wanting things to work properly even if it means
         | they hold your hand through things. They also handle volume
         | licensing very well.
         | 
         | Who else aimed for that concierge support segment of the
         | market? Maybe Cygnus? SuSE? VA?

             | If so, yes.
