Good... Good... Let the hate flow through you.
An open source OS company just blogged about a new open source project that they are putting resources into. They did not release a commercial product that competes with any existing storage solution.
How exactly would one expect a new project to be announced? Tell me more about how far away from done you think they are.
Sorry if that's a bit sarcastic, but seriously wouldn't it be nice if these comments where more along the lines of: "Interesting new project, here's some issues we've run into vis a vis reliable storage that you should look out for..."
- abrookewood 10y agoYes, I have to agree. There's a little too much negativity for my liking, especially from people who have a vested interest in downplaying the efforts of others.
- stevelandis 10y agoIMO it is because this can derail the adoption of containers. I think an immature project like this announced so prematurely does more harm than good. And I appreciate people that have experience with this bringing up the real issues.
- pjmlp 10y agoI for one find it very positive, a storage engine implemented in Go, for what I could gather in a quick Github glance. For me, this is surely systems work.
- mmf 10y agoI absolutely agree, all those negative comments sound like rants from grumpy old guys. I have worked in HPC distributed storage and the problems the CoreOS people are trying to solve is a valid and present one: deploying flexible distributed storage today is an absolute pain. Plus all the arguments about local storage failure being hard are moot because this is a distributed solution and the hardship of local storage reliability can be abstracted away almost completely.
