		lunfard00 on April 20, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Grafana, Loki, and Tempo will be relicensed to AGP... Amazon is the biggest leecher in the industry. They haven't open-sourced any meaningful project back to the community and they even prevent its employees to work in any of them[1] on their free-time.

I think firecracker is pretty meaningful.

Firecracker is a fork of Googles crossvm, not an original Amazon project.

I bet it wouldn't be open source otherwise.

Also, it's a more convenient and secure shell around kvm. It's valuable, but bit that meaningful.
