Kway makes more intuitive sense to me; it's like the word quail .

But this is also a word in common usage, and it already has a pronunciation: "key". English is not a good place to go if you are looking for intuitive pronunciation.

Merriam-Webster lists ˈkwā as valid, and Cambridge lists kweɪ under an 'American Dictionary' subsection.

How to pronounce Quay: https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2018/04/cay-key-quay.html Edit: I called it Kway myself and googled it after getting puzzled looks from my UK peers. The referenced article says "key" is the older pronunciation but either is acceptable.

I'm from the UK and when I first moved to London I pronounced Surrey Quays Surrey Kways until I was corrected, I pronounced Torquay and Newquay correctly but it never occurred to me to pronounce Surrey Kways Surrey Quays.

Worth noting this is happening after the incorporation of VMware’s harbor registry into cncf. Harbor provides a solid enterprise registry with auth, Clair scanning, and a reasonable ux. https://goharbor.io/ Still, it’s great to see quay make it out into the open.

I'd be interested in hearing more analysis on why it is "worth noting." What are your thoughts?

ProjectQuay.io landing page is now live! https://projectquay.io

This is really great!

I recognize your username because I met you at Kubernetes Community Day AMS, after Helm Summit, when you told everyone your username from up on the stage...

By the way I loved your talk "Convergence of Communities" and everything about the Jellyfish modeling, so for the benefit of anyone who maybe does not know who you are, or why you posted this one-liner... this is Diane, Director of Community Development at RedHat, and you can find that talk on YouTube.

So, thanks for doing this!

They believe in making money. The issue is that OSS is the only way to compete with the cloud. Quay would die without 3rd party contributions vs Amazon, Google, Microsoft.

We happily make money without sacrificing our Open Source/Free Software principles. Does that bother you? (Disclaimer: Red Hatter since almost 15 years. I never doubted for a second that we would open source what we buy. Ansible, 3Scale, CoreOS, we have a long history of sticking to our principles)

I never doubted Red Hat, but I do doubt IBM. Glad to see that RedHat's principles are still alive.

I thought it was worth noting, as I follow the CNCF and their numerous projects, but I hadn't made the connection myself.

Not to take anything away from the accomplishments of the Quay team or their contribution, there is definitely value in having more than one kid on the block when it comes to open-source solutions for problems like this. I think the tendency is to push for "one solution to rule them all" and that kind of approach can stifle innovation pretty hard.

I'm not sure there's any relevance between this announcement and that one, as Harbor has been in the incubator since about 12 months ago from what I can tell, and was sandbox before that. But it appears to be another mature solution in the same space with many of the same features, if that isn't something worth noting I can't understand why not!

To your point, it would be great if the comment was a bit more substantive.

I hate to break it to you, you are no longer a red hatter, you are an ibm’er and at the mercy of their board of directors. You’ll remain open source right up until the moment they decide that’s not the best way to utilize their recent acquisition.

I hope for all of us that doesn’t happen anytime soon, but IBM acquired Redhat, not the other way around... plenty of sun folks learned that the hard way.

Love this. After Red Hat acquired Ansible I thought for sure they would cave on their open source principles, but they didn't . They really believe in open source, and we are all the better as a world for it. Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but have been a fan decades longer than I've worked there.

A competing product (Harbor) is already open-source and part of CNCF. Quay wouldn't have had any future if it was to stay proprietary.

Regarding RedHat (or IBM) truly committing to open-source, I'll believe when OpenShift 4.x is open-sourced.

Ansible was never Red Hat's to open source, the only open sourcing in that space is AWX, and it lacks release tags, working migrations or any meaningful community self-support that doesn't result in "you need to talk to us if you're doing this" on GitHub. It's a GPL'd code dump actively hostile to having a meaningful community develop around it
