TL;DR
Bitnami (aka VMware aka Broadcom) is money hungry and moving off open source. They will now use a subscription model for their images and charts
Official pricing verification confirms the $50,000-$72,000 annual subscription costs through AWS Marketplace listings and Arrow Electronics distribution agreements. Bitnami Premium costs $50,000 annually and provides unlimited access to 500+ applications, while Bitnami Secure Images requires $72,000 yearly for 280+ hardened applications with advanced security features.
Jesus excuse me?
Q: Are Bitnami’s free images going away?
A: Not entirely. Bitnami will continue to offer a limited subset of free, latest-version images intended for development use. These images will be more hardened and secure, but older versions and many applications will be removed from the free tier and moved to the Bitnami Legacy repository. You can browse the images available for free at https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamisecure before August 28th, and after that date, the main Bitnami registry will have the same content.
the sources remain available (probably just cause of licensing lets be real) so you could just strap some new CI on that repo and maintain a foss build.
Yeah, maybe someone will do that - the question is: for how long will it stay like that
Also them sort of giving a month to migrate or find a solution is clownery
Worth noting that it goes from 350ish (now) to 41
They also will just have the latest tag, no version tag at all
Using legacy is a no-go as well
Their subscription is just for enterprises, so if you're a private person forget about using Bitnami at all
Can't wait for RabbitMQ to follow that path; after all, it's also Broadcom 🙃
