Red Hat just erected a paywall in front of the source code to their Linux distribution.Are they burning bridges to the wider open source ecosystem?Referenced...
An exceptionally well explained rant that I find myself in total agreement with.
I design/build/maintain servers & networks for a living and have for over a decade. At every company that I’ve ever worked at, large or small, even proposing the idea to run production servers on Fedora would get you laughed out of the room, and probably get your competence questioned if you’re serious about it. I’m not saying it must be RHEL, because Debian & Ubuntu Server do exist and you can get support on them, but there is no universe that exists in which Fedora is suitable as a production server.
I respect your opinion, but it does not match up with any business reality, no matter the size of that business.
Maybe not Fedora specifically, but modern cloud environments run on significantly more bleeding edge Linux versions than RHEL and that is no problem at all given the redundancy all these systems work at.
