A comment on GKE On-Prem Alpha.

> With GKE On-Prem, you get the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) experience directly in your data center. A quick and simple install and upgrade experience that’s validated and tested by Google. GKE On-Prem also registers your cluster with Google Cloud Console in order to have a single-pane-of-glass view for managing all your clusters.

That latter is an interesting way to mentally merge your local DC and Google Cloud.

It will get even more interesting if you get decent federation support between your local GKE clusters and GCP GKE cluster allowing you to scale out to the cloud if you run out of capacity in your local cluster.

Exactly. This is really the beginning of multi-cluster scenarios that work well across different environments. Failover from on-prem -> GKE is something we're working on.

That would be great!

Depends on the latency between your DC and Google's, and the cost of traffic (which could be significant).

Which is where Google's network comes into play.

Perhaps not surprisingly, this is where Istio excels..
