I fully support hashicorp’s prerogative to be paid for their hard work, but I am also glad I did not enter the ecosystem.
Looks like it stays k8s + pulumi + ansible for me.
I do think they’ll be able to benefit from this though — serious businesses that derive
value from their offerings should be comfortable paying more/something for the value they’re receiving.
I'm using their ecosystem indirectly, not locked into it, with an option to leave whenever I want, with a superior computation model (in the case of Pulumi), that's the point.
If Hashicorp changes all the licenses of the providers they maintained, then that's fine -- I have no right to demand free work from them.
I would be worrying a lot more if all my automation was built on Terraform, Consul, and Nomad, though -- and I'm glad I didn't do that.
