Given that this is the alpha launch of Container Engine, and the Beta launch of Autoscaling and Managed VMs, what is the anticipated timeframe for this to be ready for production workloads?

I'm assuming that there'll be a beta of Container Engine in the near future, and then a stable 1.0 launch?

Stable production ready GKE will gate on Kubernetes. Our Kubernetes roadmap is here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/maste...

We are driving aggressively here. I hate to put a date on it but things are converging.

Ok that's fair, but just a rough idea would be incredibly helpful.

Are we talking sometime within the next 6 months / 12 months / longer?

That roadmap document doesn't really explain how the current featureset makes Kubernetes ready for an 'alpha' release on GKE.
