Of course I know FOSS software runs most of the internet. But not all FOSS software equally. “Use the right tool for the job” and all that.
Why by the end of the year? Garage has been around for a while. Its lack of enterprise adoption is not due to its youth, but rather that it’s the wrong tool for the job.
There are plenty of FOSS object stores that exist already and are better targeted at enterprise workloads. Garage is amazing, I run it on my home server, but it’s not really “enterprise” software. And it’s not trying to be.
(Also I know plenty of people from AWS and it seems that a few products are FOSS based but plenty are written in house. Running on Linux, of course)
