Cloud Native Computing Foundation was spearheaded and initiated by Google as a competitive alternative to AWS's dominance. Google knew they couldn't catch up to the AWS offering by selling service alternatives, so they intelligently and astutely zagged, and went all-in on an "open source cloud" approach. Kubernetes is the Trojan horse - it gives people hope that they can develop with open source, and be cloud agnostic. But when the complexity overwhelms and drains them, they invariably look for a "managed" kubernetes solution to take the load off. And, wouldn't you know it, Google happens to offer a managed Kubernetes solution! Sure, so does AWS, but EVERYONE KNOWS (whether you like it or not) that Kubernetes was developed by Google, so surely they would be the ones best at managing Kubernetes ops in production!
