The article forgets about Azure or GCP. I know that AWS is the most popular, but you shouldn't forget about those 2. From the article it seems like there are AWS and nothing else, which is obviously not true. And Azure is backed by Microsoft, GCP is backed by Google, so if "Bezos loses his mind" there will be other alternatives besides Kubernetes.

You missed the point that moving from AWS to GCP or Azure is going to be _extremely_ complex and expensive if you have used all those shiny AWS platform features. It is very easy if you are using k8s.

Sure migrations of a large complex infrastructure is easy...says no one who has actually done it.
It's funny that you mention it. In the OS wars, OS X and *BSDs were also forgotten.
