We "just" provide you with the best managed infra, because c'mon - it will be open source and even given up control on paper - but everyone will associate it with us, we will make sure to have podcasts, and blogs, and marketing that talk about containers, the future and how G created this project. Best people will help us build it "out in the open" and then when we hire them, it will be easy to teach them this Borg monstrosity that we have here. So you know win-win-win - devs think they solved their Docker-is-shit problem with the magic of Kubernetes (yeah, I got a name for it already) so G is now savior; it's a win for GCP; it's a win for hiring. > [Urs]: Now we talkin... |
