the best cloud use-case done badly on premises!
All these projects trying to put cloud computing on-premises when both major clouds are so much easier, cheaper, feature rich and mature. I've only come accross one customer who genuinely couldn't use public cloud, and the issue there is connectivity rather than compliance due to financial services industry legacy stuff. I like tinkering as much as the next geek, but realistically these projects are dead in the water, it's time to learn the tools which actually do represent the future of application hosting and deployment.
Yes, I'm sure this post makes a lot of the resident dev nerds angry; downvote away...
