To apply for an open source plan, please complete the short form here.". I wonder when exactly "before November 1" will be and how much time that will give us to decide things. In case their OSS plans allow unlimited pulls again, then we should be fine? But also fine switching to quay.io everywhere. But the general problem is services that are expensive to run, but offered for free... wondering if something similar will happen to quay.io at some point. But now that it belongs to Red Hat, err, IBM, they might be big enough to not care about the costs it produces. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
