I chuckled at the part at the end, that basically says “some people voiced concerns over switching to an open source solution because of support and SLAs”. It’s like, “yoooo, you just got fucked, in a concerted effort by a large company to shed customers that ‘don’t matter’ to them. What makes you think an open source could be worse than this?”

I would also throw Xen into the mix - I really liked running it at home until the server physically died.

I know when they jacked the price up on my buddy’s company they went to self hosting or AWS where applicable.
