I don't think this is true with SaaS. You still run it in AWS, Azure, Google.

  To an extent though, it is! All of those vendors (some more than others) are pretty serious about Kubernetes, and they're a tiny fraction of the list[1]. I keep hearing that AWS Lambda has won serverless (Functions as a Service), but as a fellow K8S-bettor who abhors vendor lock-in and follows the news from CNCF friends, I'm not sold on that. Azure has Brigade, Pivotal (Cloud Foundry) has Riff to compete with that, and I'd guess there are other solutions in the same vein that I haven't heard of; well both of these solutions at least are portable to anywhere you run your Kubernetes clusters. As long as you don't leverage the other vendor SaaS APIs too heavily and keep as much of your control plane inside of Kubernetes as possible, you can always take the solutions you build there with you anywhere. Those are open-source solutions built on SaaS platforms, and the fact that things like those exist... is pretty much the only reason I'd consider those platforms? Even potentially say that I'd prefer them over AWS (except that we're an AWS centered shop, where you can also run Kubernetes if it's your fancy, and that we do all of those lock-in things...)
