ECS Community Edition vs EMC ECS Software

590 views Asked by At

What are the major differences between the ECS Free & Frictionless Community Edition and the official ECS Appliance Software listed on EMC's support site?

Will the Free version track all the official version's releases? To be more specific, is the "emcvipr/object" docker container the same for both the free version and the EMC Official release? If so, will they be kept in sync?

I recently came across the information in an EMC dev training session by the ECS community edition maintainers. They have code releases sort of in sync with paid versions, and you can check for release info of the docker containers from docker hub here. Most major/minor releases and some patched versions will be available.

The software releases are one and the same, however the license for the Community Edition is for non-production use only.
