I can totally imagine a spinoff either to Oracle or IBM. Possibly Cisco as an outlier. BTW I have to deal with Google Cloud as a “partner” and they’re a major pain in the ass - everything we do is mandated as custom, we have to come to them, etc - compared with their competitors who actually feel like partners. We’re always one Google reorg away from throwing away our efforts to be replaced with another goat rodeo.

A spin-off would not be technically possible without effectively rewriting GCP.

  The Google Distributed Cloud Hosted project is a non-borg port of GCP that could be run by anyone.
