Maybe Cloudflare? It would be weird, but it would probably not ruin HashiCorp. Or the Linux Foundation itself somehow?

- IggleSniggle 3y agoCloudflare is a very interesting idea from a user perspective
- LVB 3y agoThat would be interesting given their sort-of fall out? (https://twitter.com/eastdakota/status/1522098889423163394 https://twitter.com/eastdakota/status/1522098889423163394)
- Macha 3y agoIs there more context than the single tweet? Twitter doesn't display threads to non-users anymore and Nitter is dead, so I can't see if the follow up mentioned ever happened.
- internetter 3y agoNo, not in that thread at least
- LVB 3y agoNo, and I don't recall anything about that "#staytuned" materializing. IIRC this was related to a license renewal that got ugly.
- aaomidi 3y agoI don’t really think Cloudflare is interested in these types of purchases. My guess is on Microsoft. It fits within the GitHub MO.
- giancarlostoro 3y agoI think so too, I think of Cloudflare as an infrastructure kind of company which is why they came to mind. It would be a buyout to keep the industry from seeing crucial tooling go down in flames when the wrong company acquires them. Microsoft might be a solid one, though no telling if this is even on their radar.
- chucke1992 3y agoDoes Microsoft even need Hashicorp? GitHub was valuable for the access to code repositories (probably for their AI master plan), but Hashicorp? With Azure they have alternatives for stuff that Hashicorp offers and what for them in Terrafor considering that ARM and Bicep exists?
- aaomidi 3y agoHashicorp definitely fits the brand of meeting developers where they are. A strategy that has worked well for them.
- fishnchips 3y agoDatadog? But I'm not sure you'll appreciate the pricing.
- notnmeyer 3y agoluckily i won’t be able to understand it either
