What Hacker News says

2 sources
> M3O is built on existing public cloud infrastructure using managed kubernetes along with our own infrastructure automation and abstraction layer for existing third party public APIs. We host the open source Micro project as our base OS and use it to power all the Micro Services, which provide simpler building blocks for existing cloud primitives. Forgive me if this sounds a bit negative... but, aren't you just reselling another cloud provider at this point? Why would I use you and not go directly to EKS or GKE? EDIT: Looks like you use digital ocean.. but please don't use commit messages like 'fix' https://github.com/m3o/platform/commit/5c006d3390cf680d58f11...
In Show HN: M3O – an open source public cloud platform
M3O seems to be more like an API aggregator with its core available as open source. Not an AWS alternative at all. Ultimately it looks like it is hosted on DigitalOcean if you let them run it for you: https://github.com/m3o/platform/blob/39b5d04a933ae3b63490081... for example. If it is meant to be an AWS alternative, then it will grow as big and complex as AWS if it gets popular and used by many. Some of the API-wrapped services require you to get separate accounts for them like weather, sms, email, etc. Don't see a value unless they have multiple providers for each service to pick from. And then you may be in the situation of wanting a feature available for only one of the providers... in which case you'll end up having them to wait to support the feature, or support tacking on info to API calls not unlike Kubernetes metadata annotations
Read the rest
. Or in the UI world waiting on features being added to a cross-platform API.
