When the Developer Preview of OpenShift Online closed, the next news I heard from OpenShift was about OpenShift.io. Before and after that, I have only received comms about webinars from the mailing list, and I've been watching for news that hosted options were coming back.

If the new $50/mo Pro Tier and free Starter account has already been advertised in any way, my experience should tell you that it was ineffective... (just so you know)

Maybe this was done on purpose because you can only allow a limited number of users in while remaining within capacity (so telling all of your old Developer Preview users they can now go ahead and hit up this new free tier all at once is maybe a recipe for exactly what situation you're trying to avoid)

But until I found out otherwise in this thread, I was still under the impression that the only remaining ways for me to use OpenShift (after the Developer Preview was ended) were, to spin one up by hand and host it for ourselves, or to pay something like $10,000 for a managed cluster on AWS.

Edit: I just found an announcement of OpenShift Online Pro Tier in an e-mail dated July 31. So it looks like I'm not actually too far behind the curve; and it was announced, I just didn't read it...
