Wow this surprising. I wonder what the reason for shutdown is? Flocker looked like a really cool product but was pretty involved setup wise when I was evaluating it.

What are best options now for bare-metal? Ceph? NFS?

Maybe the docker infinit acquisition[1] caused it? Given Kubernetes' plug and play storage classes (and gluster's maturity) + docker planning to add infinit natively there might not have been much space for them.

Docker bought Infinit and will presumably integrate it into Docker Engine.

Mostly people like you that thought it was a good product but never paid.

Looks like those flagging a post are too young to understand nothing gets closer to bare metal than THE DIRECT BARE METAL LANGUAGE ITSELF, and are probably so enchanted with the idea of Open Source that they don't know from real experience that you can only rely upon yourself. The shutting down of this company only proves as much.
