$6.4B for HashiCorp on the heels of $4.6B for Apptio and $34B for Red Hat back in 2018. I wonder how long until they expect each of these acquisitions to be accretive?
Acquisitions don’t need to pay for themselves. Ideally they do, but sometimes it’s enough if they just help the company’s main business stay in business, or grow.
Not at all. Nation sized companies are authoritarian rogue-states which happen to provide a good product. We should treat them as the danger to our planet that they are.
I don’t know of any fork that’s specifically made of Nomad but maybe because it has a ton of open source competition, there’s Kubernetes, K3s, Proxmox, Docker Swarm, Mesos and a bunch of others.
etcd might cover Consul. I’m not familiar with that side of ops. Do some searches on reddit. The thing is, you typically want several such products that work well together if you want a full solution. It depends on your needs. Each product individually has alternatives but when you put them together they can fit well or not.
Es meta el asunto, pero conservar el titular es para evitar los comentarios en el título mismo, que en ocasiones se puede usar como ragebait y cuestiones así. Así como hiciste, dejando el comentario dentro del post ta bien :)
Comentaría respecto a Terraform, pero la verdad nunca he estado metido en ese mundo, pero leyendo el post de OpenTF entiendo un poco la reacción de quienes lo usan. El lenguaje de HashiCorp respecto a quienes aplican ciertos aspectos de la licencia, especialmente sobre la comercialización pueden ser un problema para muchos. La nueva licencia puede que empiece a limitar el uso en aplicaciones comerciales por el susto de eventualmente ser considerado competencia para la empresa.
That just read like a whole bunch of corporate whining. Looks like I won’t be using anything HashiCorp related. Don’t press on my back and tell me it’s raining. This BSL license is not free open source. Fuck off with that shit.
The Terrawork (Terragrunt) people have posted their latest response. It looks like multiple companies have banded together and are fully behind forking Terraform, if required.
i know someone i used to work with who went there because he was effectively their employee bc of how much he contributed via open source and in community
People might not like this change, but if it helps them makes money that gets put back into the project maybe that is a good thing (for those who does not know, it converts to a open source license after four years), maybe that is better then a open core model.
Yeah. I’ve always thought timed open source was probably a sweet spot, but I don’t have a lot of trust that companies will actually follow through on the open license at the end, so it doesn’t buy my goodwill just yet.
IANAL but don’t think they can opted out of it , it’s part of the license
Effective on the Change Date, or the fourth anniversary of the first publicly available distribution of a specific version of the Licensed Work under this License, whichever comes first, the Licensor hereby grants you rights under the terms of the Change License, and the rights granted in the paragraph above terminate.
