The same goes for huge open source projects like Kubernetes. The amount of money to run the infrastructure for CI/CD and CDN is in the millions per year. Someone has to pay for that and the big companies are the ones that fit the bill. Google mostly pays for it but others have started contributing also. For example, Amazon recently announced that they are funding part of the infrastructure also.
- theteapot 4y agoHow much does AWS make from just EKS? Tossing some change to support k8s ecosystem seem like a pretty good investment.

- moloch-hai 4y agoNo. Foot is right, meaning "pay". "Fit the bill" is also used, but not in this context.
- a_JIT_pie 4y agoYes. _Fit_ is right, specifically in this context. Re-read the comment you're talking about. In fact, either work fine. I'm taking issue with the pedantry we're engaging in here (while admittedly adding to it).
- mypalmike 4y agoThe context was clearly about payments. So it's foot. It's not particularly ambiguous even. I don't correct people to be pedantic or argumentative. I love being corrected and learning from others, but I suppose not everyone does.
- cbushko 4y agoYes, it is "foot the bill" in regards to paying for it. My mistake but I am glad everyone had some fun learning!
