Disclosure: I work at Amazon on AWS infrastructure. And sometimes I have exchanges with ahmetb on Twitter. I cannot dispute the fact that Google has more developers working on k8s than AWS does. And that AWS developers have been focused more on making sure that k8s works great on AWS, rather than the core code. I've heard folks say that they think that k8s works better on Google because of all the Google developers using it. And that might have been true at some point. But, in any case, that means that you're probably going to see more activity making k8s work well on AWS than work in other areas. But it doesn't mean that other "3rd party" packages don't see more general activity that goes beyond "it works fine on AWS". Like the work in the upstream Linux kernel to apply the retpoline approach (invented by folks at Google, but not applied to upstream Linux) to mitigate Spectre.
