That is interesting. Red Hat is a major player within the telecom industry. I do wonder how support will work for Russian Telcos running VNF on Openstack.
I assume that all contracts have some force majeure actions baked in.
- gremlinsinc 5y agoThat would presuppose that a NATO sanctioned company could sue companies that no longer due business in their country due to war, which I'm sure is probably a decent reason to terminate a contract. In other words: Russian businesses are just f**ed. The only option is - build your own tools, or use only russian based tools, services, etc - or go back to doing things in excel spreadsheets and paper/pen.

Witness the controversy surrounding Panantir, or DOD's JEDI project, for two recent examples. American companies and individuals regularly sanction Israel for its behavior in Palestine despite being one of our closest allies: witness the BDS movement.

- MrDisposable 5y agoLibreOffice is a decent replacement.
- tssva 5y agoCanonical self-submitted one of their blog posts the other day proclaiming that OpenStack isn't dead. One of their examples was the deployment of Canonical's OpenStack version by the Russian telco MTS. I heard a peep from them regarding their plans to continue operations in Russia.
