I'm working on adding AWS support for Kubernetes. I just last week finished Load-Balancer (ELB) & Persistent Storage (EBS) support, and they're currently going through the pull-request review process. Once they merge (I'd guess a week or two?), AWS will be on-par with Google Cloud Engine feature-wise.

I have found the Kubernetes team to be nothing other than extremely supportive of efforts to support AWS & non-Google platforms. It takes a little longer to translate some of the Google-isms to other platforms, but I'm happy for the thinking behind those decisions, vs just adopting lowest-common denominator.

I also see quite a lot of IaaS providers here:

I'm mostly concerned about feature lag and vendor lock-in, so I'm happy to hear that this will be out so soon. I'm excited to try it out.

I don't doubt it one bit; in my experience, people on the Kubernetes IRC channel have been always really helpful and supportive. I just tend to be a little more pessimistic when it comes to resource allocation: a Google team probably prioritizes support for Google platforms, and that's no one's fault or foul play.

Thanks for your work!
