This is some top class FUD, and is entirely untrue, if you read the details. The hypervisor in question is Nutanix AHV, which is based on CentOS, the same line of code as RedHat. ![]() It might come as some surprise to certain customers that RedHat is telling them they can’t get support for an Open Source OS just because it’s running on a hypervisor that is based on Open Source. If the company that only sells support for Open Source, says they don’t want to provide you the service you’ve paid for, what do you do? RedHat is in the business of selling support and patches, there is no software licenses, there can’t be, it’s Open Source (the OS at least). ![]() While the OS software packages and the Linux kernel are completely Open Source, and anyone is free to download, use, and distribute them (some disclosures required), if you want commercial support you have to pay for it. RedHat is one of the pioneers of the Open Source community with their distribution of Linux called RedHat Enterprise Linux. ![]()
