QUESTION

What deployment model variability do vendors face when offering BYOC to their customers?

ANSWER

Significant variability. Some customers want Docker images and instructions to self-manage everything. Others want to create a dedicated cloud sub-account or use VPC peering and let the vendor manage deployments there. A third pattern is recursive BYOC - where a vendor's customer is itself a BYOC platform, requiring the ability to bundle the vendor's software and offer that full bundle as BYOC downstream.
