The thing is, Terraform Cloud could've been good, but it's not. And now it prices a K8S cluster the same as a DNS record. (and both too high for glorified object storage)

And Vault Enterprise could've been something I can justify to my EM to to ensure it continues to exist (and get namespaces and slow support as a bonus). But they asked way too much.

It also doesn't help they started prioritizing bugs almost solely based on support contracts, even trivial fixes you submit don't get merged for months to years.

They built products and thought everything else would just fall into place. And unfortunately it doesn't.
