KubeSphere, a Kubernetes-based cloud-native application management platform, has abruptly ended support for its open-source edition. The company cited reasons including license violations and the need to focus on commercial offerings. This decision has sparked outrage within the open-source community.
KubeSphere has become the latest service to abruptly yank an open source edition of a product, triggering outcry from users.in the project's repository stating:"Effective immediately ... we will suspend the download links for the KubeSphere open source version and cease providing free technical support.
KubeSphere is"a distributed operating system for cloud-native application management, using Kubernetes as its kernel." It is also, according to the project's website,"a CNCF-certified Kubernetes platform, 100 percent open source, built and improved by the community." "While the source code remains available under open source norms, discontinuing the out-of-the-box distributions is, in my view, a challenging adjustment for today's collaborative open source ecosystem., he wrote,"SUSE, with over 30 years of open source commitment, firmly believes that sustainable innovation thrives through genuine openness, collaboration, and enabling customer choice.
In the GitHub post, the KubeSphere team appeared to blame the rapid uptake of AI in the tech industry and subsequent changes to the infrastructure layer. So"to adapt to the new era, further enhance product capabilities and service quality, and focus on core technology R&D and the optimization of commercial-grade solutions, after years of planning and careful consideration," the open source edition is for the chop.
