To all those complaining about collection of stats: Pretty much _every_ SaaS company is collecting stats about your behavior. It seems a bit off that there is so much rage about a project whose code is out their in the open to collect stats.
Point me to atleast a single popular SaaS product that does not have analytics in it's page.
What part of "Awsless: A Mighty CLI for AWS" sounds like SaaS?
"SaaS" means software as a service, something someone else runs, generally web based where metrics are relevant, not a command line tool on your own machine talking to your own infra.
From read me:
Install
Choose one of the following options:
- Download the latest awless binaries (Windows/Linux/macOS) from Github
- If you have Golang already installed, build the source with: go get github.com/wallix/awless
- On macOS, use homebrew: brew tap wallix/awless; brew install awless
Not sure how to respond. I wasn't comparing awsless to a SaaS at all. I was saying that SaaS collects info about you all the time and I don't see anyone going up in arms about that.
According to you, it's OK to collect data if the software is on another person's infra.
Yes, you compared them, or rather, compared the reactions of people to them. If you aren't implying by extension that SaaS and awsless are comparable then your argument makes no sense.
