Does anyone know why they haven’t been open sourced? Are they too closely tied to proprietary hardware? Too dependent on underlying software platforms that would never be open sourced?

At this point, would they even offer anything superior to etcd-raft? Asking from a position of honest ignorance.

Not paxos, but if I recall, Hashicorp has open sourced their Golang Raft implementation and it seemed reasonably abstract. It’s late and I’m totally blanking on the names of their products though... it’s the etcd-like one.

Consul. Etcd also has an open source version of it.

Consul is the one you’re thinking of.
