None of those pages you linked say anything like that, you're just making stuff up. One of them is not the company talking about their license choice but a FUD article crying about AGPL which we've seen a million tired versions of

translation: AWS refuses to provide unmodified open source hosted software as a service or to open source the changes they make to host it. It's not a "can't" it's a "won't".

I think it's worth considering that stuff like Elastic and Grafana tooling at most places is just internal ops & analytics. Elastic yes moreso can be used for user-facing search, but in general the point of these ops technologies i

A use case for something like this, and not just for medians, is where you have a querying/investigation UI like Grafana or Datadog or whatever. You write the query and the UI knows you're querying metric xyz_inflight_requests, it

Proxmox is great as a FOSS hypervisor, but their docs for doing pretty much anything advanced are just "here's a qemu command".

The paradigm can be flipped now for these distributed storage systems. The blocks of a filesystem can now be objects, replicated or erasure-coded - like Ceph running filesystems on top of its low-level object storage protocol, which is done
