I think we are in the middle of a transition. Last transition was dedicated servers to VMs. Current one is VMs to containers. Everything that is going on in this space is just part of that transition. Once the dust settles down, kubernetes or some form of it will become the standard cloud provider interface so instead of using AWS or GCP APIs, developers will just use the k8s APIs irrespective of where they run. This will greatly benefit Google and to some Azure but the most of all, it'll make developers' lives a lot easier as they won't have to manage clusters themselves and can rely on cloud providers' hosted container management solutions which most likely will be k8s. While we as developers have taken on a lot more complexity today, soon we'll only care about our apps as most of these components will standardize and be available on all clouds. At least i hope so.
