That's a giant stretch. Kraft is a surname. I assumed it was an April fools joke that Kraft the cheese company was making their own cloud (which would be hilarious).
I wonder whether we could get Kraft to sponsor us :) . Unikraft used to be called Unicraft but was changed to a "k" for name clash reasons. Agree that names are hard.
I jumped to Kraft Dinner and wondered why that was the kind of perception you’d want to cause people to have about your product.

Kraft Dinner and Kraft Singles, my two favourite almost cheese products.

Names are really hard.

Sounds like craft. Seems more likely to me an intentional misspelling of “craft” or related to the Kraft Foods company if you’re in the US.

Absolutely nothing about this headline had me thinking about consensus protocols.

LOL. Kraft is german for power/strength.
I caught on to that immediately. My statement was meant to mean that it would so so unlikely to indicate the Raft protocol, that it’s more likely to have been a reference to these other things. It is not a reference to those things, but it even less of a reference to Raft.
Yes, we're a German company, it's a play on words :)
Kraft is just a the German word for strength or force.
The parent is downvoted because the original comment contained some stretch logic talking about possible confusion with Raft consensus protocol due to naming similarities, the current comment is after the ninja edit.
And Kraft (Kafka without Zookeeper).
Yes, our kraft CLI tool (https://github.com/unikraft/kraftkit/) definitely has a clash with KRaft .
