Looks very Azure-centric. Both installation guides (https://drasi.io/how-to-guides/install-sample-applications/b... and https://drasi.io/how-to-guides/install-sample-applications/c...) require Azure to work.

And then there's this:

> Installing Drasi in an EKS cluster can be significantly more complex than a standard installation on other platforms. Instead of downloading a CLI binary using the provided installation scripts, this approach requires modifying the source code of the Drasi CLI and building a local version of the CLI.

Is this an actual requirement or just the current easy path?

Every bit of Microsoft open source is created at least partly as a sales strategy for Azure. They usually start within the Azure infrastructure because, well, why wouldn’t they? Then eventually they tend make it to where you can use them outside of Azure but they never quite leave the part where they are “better” if you’re an Azure customer.

Time will tell if Drasi is going to go the path where it becomes more easily useable outside of Azure (and in this case AWS) or it’ll go more of a Bicep route.

As mentioned above, Kubernetes is (intended to be) our only platform dependency right now. Drasi is not yet ready for production use and can be explored using k3s, kind, AKS, and EKS, which we felt provided sufficient initial options for people to choose from.

In the coming weeks we will get more of our Sources and Reactions documented as well as docs on how to create custom Sources and Reactions. In the short term, if people have Sources and Reactions they want so they can integrate with a wider range of up and downstream systems, we would love to help support their efforts in developing these.

The Drasi Team is most active over on discord channel (https://aka.ms/drasidiscord), where we are happy to answer questions and help people get started using Drasi.
