Why we’ve decided to decommission Gov.uk PaaS

Another Cloud foundry based platform moving on to Kubernetes. Perhaps https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-for-k8s can provide a simple migration path..

GOV.UK PaaS always ran on top of AWS (though in UK and Ireland regions), so it's always been dependent on a US company anyway

Is there any Europe-based PaaS currently operating, that are noteworthy? Most companies seems to be US-based.

They mention a handful of services like GOV.UK Notify, GOV.UK Pay, the GOV.UK Design System, the Prototype Kit, and the new GOV.UK Forms product.

Is anyone able to clarify whether these things are collectively referred to or considered part of the Gov.uk PaaS offering (and therefore will all be decomissioned) or not? It wasn't clear to me from the article and I'm not otherwise familiar.

I think the PaaS does not include them; it's the service for hosting a service.[1]

Is OVH a PaaS?
