Using Prometheus in federated mode has been fine for me, I'm running it almost exactly as depicted in the article and I'm not sure why OP describes it as a complex on - you just need to have some idea of what metrics you'd like to store longer term.
Similar boat here, and know of many other companies in the same situation (although we chose Alma).
We thought we were on a good proven path of paying for support where we need it, and using the downstream alternatives when we didn't. Turns out we should have more seriously considered a move to Debian...
I'm not really shocked Red Hat are trying to squeeze more money out of their existing audience, everything they offer is eye-wateringly expensive nowadays. I almost choked when I got a quote back for the Ansible automation platform, before installing AWX for free.
I think getting away from RH is probably the safest plan.
AAP is crazy expensive, just like RHEL. I think they are going to lose a lot of customers and dollars due to this, both immediately and even more so later.
Another irritating move from Red Hat, likely driven by their unhappiness with the popularity of Alma/Rocky instead of a mass migration to RHEL they had probably hoped for.
As the source is still available, but not publicly, could it be that these alternate flavours enter in to a license agreement with Red Hat that's community funded?
Unfortunately the developers of those particular things (often like ad developers) use obscurity of things like div names to make the task less trivial.
Previously we were using FortiManager to manage a cluster which has CSV export functionality, however for reasons too long to explain on HN, we no longer use FM and simply use FG directly. We occasionally provide policy and DNAT exports to customers and internal teams, so this script replaces what we used to have and allows for a bit of on-the-fly editing too.
>Objectively, compared to other languages i've been working with it is more than OK. Despite it's lack of "style" it is easy to understand, host, tests, diagnose and it is powerfull for web applications.
>I've been working on a SaaS API with Symfony now for 2 years, our metrics are good...
>It is a good tool, it builds good softwares
Informed? These are opinions, dude. Where are the objective arguments? "It is ok, works for me" is not "being informed"
I don't see hatred of PayPal as personal, their service is awful. Randomly charging your bank account instead of credit card. Holding money for 3 weeks for no apparent reason. Most amusingly, I had some small amount of foreign currency in my account somehow I couldn't get rid of. It was too little to convert to USD according to their system. In the end I had to delete my account and agree to forfeit all my fractions of a dollar of money. Their service is objectively terrible.
