Will this be something like COS or even CoreOS? Also, I'm curious to hear more about this part:
> GKE On-Prem has a fully integrated stack of hardened components, including OS, container runtime, Kubernetes, and the cloud to which it connects.
Which runtime are you shipping? CRI-O? What type of outgoing cloud connection is that? I have so many questions. I'm actually at the conference this week if you're willing to grab coffee.
Happy to chat more. DM @westonhutchins and we can setup a time.
Some quick details: It's a bit of a split between what GKE runs and what the customer runs. Alpha runs on vSphere 6.5 and we're packing up a Google-hardened OS in much the same way we package GKE for GCP. A lot of the integrations for things like networking and storage will be coming from partners. We'll also have remote mgmt capabilities so we can manage the cluster's control plane in much the same way our SREs do for GKE.
