spoken like a pivotal employee... cf has almost zero support for data services, and suffers from nih at almost every layer of the stack from routing to mq, to one of the worst ux for installs ever (aka bosh), cf is a great example of commercial opensource primarily controlled (inspite of foundation) by one entity (pivotal/vmware) that figure out how to switch from monetizing virtualization to single processes. you ever try the ui on the opensource cf?.. oh there isn't one. |

1. Data services, not true. There's MariaDB, Cassandra, Neo4J, Mongo, Postgres, among others. Yes, they're in VMs, but recoverable/reschedule-able persistent volumes in container clusters are at best experimental features anywhere you look.
2. NIH, compared to what? CF reuses etcd, consul, monit, haproxy, nginx, etc. will use runC and appC as those get hammered out.
3. Lots of people love BOSH.
4. If you don't like all the decisions Full CF makes, this is why Lattice exists, it delegates config/install to Vagrant or Terraform (which have their own problems) so anyone can take the core runtime bits with Docker images and use them in new and interesting ways.
5. What container or cloud platform project isn't based on code contributed by one or two vendors? Realistically? None. The CF foundation at least is an honest attempt to give all the IP to a neutral entity (including the trademark soon), has several successful variants (mainline OSS, Pivotal, Bluemix, Helion, Stackato), and has customers and users joining the foundation, not just vendors.
