  Not only recently, but actually this was the cost until yesterday for GKE with HA masters distributed across AZs[1]! I only heard that this announcement from AWS was likely coming this morning, over here in the thread about upgrading GKE clusters[2]. Given how long we've waited since the announcement at November's re:Invent, there's honestly not a lot that seems terribly rushed about this news, but I bet that AWS really would have liked to have Ingress controllers that are integrated with ALB ready for this announcement to go with their CNI plugins. "Why am I waiting for Amazon to get out of preview when Google's been giving it away this whole time?" For AWS customers that aren't locked in, that seems like a reasonable train of thought.
