I think that IBM know if they get their hands dirty in Red Hat, they wont have much ROI from their investment.

I think you are a little too confident in IBM's management.

Is there any reason to believe IBM hasn’t been a good open source citizen?

Arguably a lot of OS progress that we are seeing today, especially in the enterprise, is a direct result of IBM’s decades old investments in tools like Eclipse, which was probably the first enterprise grade open source development software, but more importantly, by promoting OS in the enterprise in the late 90s and early 2000s at a time when MS FUD about Linux was at an all time high.

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 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.

I'm new to IBM (last four months), but it's clear that everyone knows not to mess with what makes Red Hat special.

Red Hatter here. I'm very glad to hear this! Thanks for saying it.

P.S. I also agree with other people posting here. Red Hat is chock full of people who are absolutely looney about Open Source. It's at the heart of everything we do.

From the basic installation page: https://docs.projectquay.io/deploy_quay.html "For a Project Quay Registry installation (appropriate for non-production purposes), you need one system (physical or virtual machine) that has the following attributes: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): Obtain the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux server media from the Downloads page and follow instructions from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux…

No Red Hat subscription will be needed to use Project Quay software. The first pass of the Project Quay documentation comes from the downstream Red Hat Quay docs. We are going to strip out references to RHEL and other Red Hat features (which should have been removed earlier) over the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, the team calls it kway. However, when I worked at SUSE a running joke was: as long as you love using it we don't care how you pronounce it.

"You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis & Cathy Lee; I don't care! Just as long as you call me" - @RuPaul

RuPaul cribbed that one from Bill Saluga's Raymond J. Johnson Jr. character. Saluga basically made an entire career out of this stupid spiel.

First, this prereqs are about what you could get on a netbook in 2012 and on a modern day cell phone. Second, I think it would help to know why you think a container registry wouldn't need a moderate amount of resources. I don't necessarily disagree that the resources could be lower at the minimum (and in fact, I recall they are quite a bit lower than this when running it on your laptop without any load), but is this…

> First, this prereqs are about what you could get on a netbook in 2012 and on a modern day cell phone. High resource requirements mean that I need to spend more on compute, whether that means paying a cloud provider for a beefier instance, or spending more money on hardware and electricity.

2C/4G is hardly "beefy". If that is too much to run then use the quay.io service and not worry about self hosting your registry?

"What is Project Quay? It's an open-source distribution of Red Hat Quay." So, what is Quay? And why the information pages assume everyone knows what it is?

A quay is a the platform you load or unload containers to. It's usually paired with a wharf in a harbor.

Didn’t they also support Linux development before it was fashionable?
