They also created quay.io and fragmented docker global public repo by asking sponsored FOSS project to publish ONLY on quay.
I really dislike redhat and won't touch anything related with them.
I really don't understand why companies would pay thousands per server for support. I'm working with Linux systems since 2 decades and never needed to pay a cent in licenses or support.
Red hat didn't create quay, they acquired it. But even if they had made it, I think that's an important and healthy thing to have. You could call it fragmentation, but I see it as taking on a monopoly by offering choice. Docker fully supports alternative registries, so I wouldn't consider that fragmentation either. Remind me a lot of when Apache was the only http server, and nginx came out. Some people said fragmentation, but most said, "cool, we have a choice and some market competition, without which development tends to stagnate"
There are things to dislike about red hat, but quay is one I would praise them for instead.
