>>Because this new service is officially in alpha, you’ll need to apply for access and be whitelisted to use the service. It also means the service isn’t feature complete and the whole infrastructure could melt down at any minute.

Not sure what the take away here is other than, this may one day be a feature. No information about pricing, support, or sla. My attitude is wait and see. Should it be otherwise?

Edit: Can someone tell me why this isn't a valid question? Why the down votes?

The TechCrunch article is incorrect. While it is still an early service, there is no whitelist.

It's all open source (including kubernetes) - so worst case you move it to the cloud provider of your choice. Other than Docker / k8s being a little immature, I don't see a ton of risk.
