I'm glad they are doing this but in all likelihood most people who use terraform are not offering terraform to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products and can continue to make production use of it.
But like I said, I am glad it's happening - as an insurance policy.
Most of the freak out I have seen I interpret as: "license says we can't use it while competing with you but that has no real definition"
To me, it seems like an acceptable license, especially since development is happening on GitHub and they take PRs. Also the feature in the license where it reverts back to MPL after 4y is a nice security against the company doing anything else crazy restrictive - as you can plan on falling back to that version as a nuclear option.
someone at work got me once by changing my .bashrc to include a file that would sleep 0.001 on every command, but every time the file was sourced it would edit itself to increase the time by 0.001 seconds.
A week later I was about to toss my computer off the roof.
Ceph is excellent as a distributed storage solution - but should really have 4 machines with 2 or more drives each to reach a good level of redundancy - which is a bit much for most people on this sub.
One nice feature is it deals with heterogeneous drives well, like if you need to buy a bunch of used ones on eBay for cheap.
Probably not a good solution for your case because of the footprint - but good to be aware of it.
I have 2 pi4 4GB boards and was waiting forever to get a third to run RAFT based services across.
I gave up last year and bought 3 chinese boards at $60/ea with 2x 2.5Gb Ethernet each, emmc, and a m.2 slot - and they run at half the temp of the pi4 boards.
I never needed the wifi/bt and form-factor the pi boards offered anyway - really no reason to stay as long as you can find software that boots on other boards.
such a good game. I can't wait to play the remake with my daughter this winter. I'd play the OG with her but her tolerance of 1990s graphics is... limited
I spent weeks installing Linux in 2002, finally got it up and running and was like wow this is barely usable.
Turns out I had a fundamental misunderstanding, and there were pre-made distributions of it for you to use! Took me two years to realize that. Picked up Ubuntu and it just worked (other than wifi)
