I'm kind of confused. I get that they run on the Google VMs (which need a base OS, yes?) so does this manage all of that? Can I:

pick my vm size/ pick my docker image/ and go?

AKA does this bring me one step closer to docker-oku-aaS?

Essentially that is the case.

If you just want to launch a static set of containers on a specific VM, you can use our Container VM image -- https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/container_v....

Kubernetes (and GKE) is a dynamic system to run across a cluster of machines.
