I'm asking because our (LittleHorse's) top 3 customer prospects all need an on-prem deployment (and two of them already have their own K8s clusters with plenty of Red Hat Operators installed) rather than a SaaS/Paas service.
As such, we are thinking of just packaging up a LittleHorse Operator and selling it like CFK. Here is a similar page for what Red Hat does with AMQ Streams (the productized version of Strimzi): https://marketplace.redhat.com/en-us/products/red-hat-amq/pricing

07/03/2023, 2:21 AMTwo tangential observations related to the article I wrote about delivering SaaS (https://medium.com/@colt_30721/delivering-software-as-a-service-6aa0f7162705):
1. We had originally thought that "Managed Service in customer cloud" and "Managed Service in LittleHorse Cloud" would be the most likely scenarios. However, it turns out that on-prem might be the way.
2. Thankfully, since the prospects we're talking to are huge K8s fans, there is very strong overlap between "Managed Service in X cloud" and "on-prem in customer's K8s environment", except that with the latter we aren't responsible for infrastrucutre provisioning 🙂
