patch: Update differences table with bC #152

Closed rmorillo24 closed 2 years ago

rmorillo24 commented 2 years ago

Added a line to the table with the differences between oB and bC about the unavailability of host OS updates in oB. It is mentioned in the Roadmap section, but this makes it more clear and more visible.

@rmorillo24 the table lists fundamental product differences between openBalena and balenaCloud, but host updates does not belong there -- it's meant to be a feature supported by both products. What is your goal with this change?

rmorillo24 commented 2 years ago

@dfunckt I just wanted to make clear that (today) oB does not support hostOS updates. It may not be clear for some users if they just browse through the differences table.

dfunckt commented 2 years ago

@rmorillo24 can you please revert the PR? @rhampt’s approval caused a merge and like I said above it shouldn’t be.

rhampt commented 2 years ago

@dfunckt Is there a reason to not included this line Rafael added? It's truthful. Maybe we should add a note that says that we're working on hostOS updates and remove the line when it's complete.

Context: Customers expect host updates with oB and what he added in the table gives us the ability to direct customers to the readme which contains all the info they usually need. Otherwise we must maintain a different table among the CS team to share with customers and it will become out of sync and /or incorrect over time.

dfunckt commented 2 years ago

@rhampt, the table lists fundamental differences -- choices, if you will -- between the two. Host OS updates do not belong to that table.

The FAQ section added by #151 is a much better place to communicate the current lack of OS updates.

rhampt commented 2 years ago

@dfunckt gotcha, that makes sense. FAQ seems right. @rmorillo24 Do you agree? If so, can you please update that #151 PR that Akis linked so it makes it in along with those other sections you added.
