I asked Brandon Phillips (Then CoreOS CTO) on a call how they said it. He was quite frank it was pronounced "kway" and not "key", much to the chagrin of our Aussie coworker who still calls it "key". I've called it "kway" since.

Yes, the team calls it kway.

However, when I worked at SUSE a running joke was: as long as you love using it we don't care how you pronounce it.

"You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis & Cathy Lee; I don't care! Just as long as you call me" - @RuPaul
RuPaul cribbed that one from Bill Saluga's Raymond J. Johnson Jr. character. Saluga basically made an entire career out of this stupid spiel.

Does he also visit the Florida Kways?
Florida's cay/quays/keys are just called Keys (presumably to short circuit this madness): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Keys
