Oh, someone supports what I'm saying constantly since some time: Kubernetes is the Windows of the cloud age. At least it tries hard to get there, but seems largely successful on this route by now. Of course the whole "cloud native" Google monoculture will become the same burden as Windows is because the same vendor lock-in mechanics apply here. MS also didn't mind in the past which kind of PC vendor (~ cloud provider) you buy form as long as your were running Windows (~ Kubernetes) on that box.
