So they didn't actually "choose" Kubernetes. They just chose to use something that is run by someone else.
- wstrange 11y agoHow is that different than AWS ECS? In both cases, someone else runs it.
- kordless 11y agoI'm not sure what your question means, but I'm simply pointing out that this didn't actually decide anything useful in terms of rolling your own solution and running it yourself. Choosing GCE over ECS is not the same as choosing Docker over Kubernetes if you are self hosting.
- ossreality 11y agoWell, considering they said that they're running Kubernetes on GCE and not GKE, I don't think your conclusion is forgone at all. More importantly, GKE _is_ Kubernetes. It's actually a somewhat constrained subset of the full Kubernetes (GKE doesn't have rkt support, for example). So yeah, if you're handwaving and trying to imply that GKE = lockin... sorry, you're wrong.
