Again this is the tail wagging the dog (and assumes you accept the premise
that "private" cloud is even cloud given it lacks multi-tenancy and
therefore requires significant capex, engineering for peak loads, etc.).
Once there is some sanity around emulating legacy (e.g. virtual machines) in
the infrastructure space the focus will quickly shift to platforms (app
runtimes, databases, queues, etc.). The sooner the better if you ask me.

For now let's keep it simple at the upper level and drill down where & when
we need to.
