Kubernetes, along with an architecture informed by the salient points the GP, also provides cloud provider mobility while opening up an on-premise story to match. As with all dependencies, though, you either manage them or they manage you... My systems generally wrap their usage of third-party components with internal facades -- an interface that I control that provides a clear contract for replacing the component, generally as part of an AntiCorruption Layer [0]. The more costly the replacement, the more need for abstraction, so I can't imagine why I would treat multi-system communication with Googles or Microsofts cloud-ESB as something less prone to change, replacement, or parallel requirements than whatever PDF-generator we're using this week. - [0] - http://www.markhneedham.com/blog/2009/07/07/domain-driven-design-anti-corruption-layer/ http://www.markhneedham.com/blog/2009/07/07/domain-driven-de...
