What are people’s opinion on this, good or bad? I have a somewhat favorable view of IBM in open source, but not sure where I got it (so it might be misplaced).

Bad. Tech is way beyond being far too consolidated as it is, this acquisition should have been laughed out of existence the second it was so much as rumored about.
When it was first announced, I was out to dinner with most of my team (devops and infra and such), and the mood was very much “ugh SERIOUSLY??” Not because it had any direct effect on us mere “community edition” adopters, we’re all just so sick and tired of the tech industry having such a disgusting M&A fetisg

I am also curious. Got burnt once thanks to Docker acquisition. Wondering if it is the right time to consider Terraform alternatives.

If you do, you wouldn’t need to stray too far.

The same bad guys.
