ClusterHQ is shutting down

Or maybe the technology wasn't correct for what most people are trying to do with Docker these days. Flocker never felt like it quite fit in the ecosystem along with Mesos, Kubernetes, etc.

Great efforts guys, the tech is cool, but technology will continue to evolve and if you bought into something completely that doesn't fit nicely with the movement, you will get left behind.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes, I was not being sarcastic. The comments about why "pioneers get arrows" in the post made it seem like they had a perfect product, the world was just not ready for it.

Since when is Flocker competing with those platforms? It's designed to work with them. http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/volumes/#flocker

I never said it was competing. I said it didn't seem to fit nicely. I run several very large clusters, and we evaluated Flocker and it didn't fit nicely into ecosystem. It felt very "bolted on".

I see, sorry for misunderstanding. What did you move to for persistent volumes?

We are using DC/OS (Mesos) and found it to be much more feature rich for what our needs were.
