AH! sorry. I didn't realize Google started offering hosted k8s.. That def. keeps maintenance down, since Google does it for you. It's been a while since I've dug into k8s in depth.
Cool. This definitely makes it easier to use k8s, but that's very different from running k8s. My comment(s) are geared about running k8s yourself. My systems are all on physical hardware we own, hence I don't really pay a lot of attention to the latest and spiffiest in hosted platforms.
