  Was going to comment that the title here felt misleading since article read like straight up PR, but someone's changed the title.

    Sorry about that, the title came from the news source that published my interview. I picked the quote from the article for the HN title because I thought it was much more interesting ;-)

  Can you talk more about your stack? Are you running ZFS on Linux? If so, what's your experience with that combination?

    Hey! We're actually running ZFS on FreeBSD: the HybridCluster stack is built on FreeBSD jails. We're looking closely at ZFS on Linux though - when we started work on our HA stack ZoL wasn't nearly ready, but now it's looking promising - so we're going to be working with Brian Behlendorf on that. If/when we do a Linux port of HybridCluster, we'll be looking at using Docker for the container part, so HybridCluster could be stateful HA Docker with live migration before too long ;-) In other news, we're gonna be hosting open-zfs.org on behalf of Brian, Delphix, Joyent and all the other community contributors. Keep an eye out for that, we'll be announcing it on HN as soon as it's ready.
