It's a haphazard half-baked re-implementation of a lot of mainframe ideas with an extra helping of YAML and more rent extraction schemes. Plus it lets a whole generation think they invented these things (virtualization, containers, orchestration, containerized deployment, dynamic block storage, ingress/egress controllers, terminal aggregators, ...).

Now that people are getting sick of cloud I'm sure we are going to re-invent personal computing now with entirely new terminology and re-implementation of all the original ideas. Just please no YAML.

How can it possibly be more rent extracting than the mainframe?

Also openness, choice of vendor, invisible hardware and virtually unlimited scalability are different.
