You can build a kubernetes based bundle that is cloud agnostic.
Re:Scaling Kubernetes to 2,500 Nodes on Thursday January 18, 2018 @02:31PM (#16180494)
VMs in all clouds are always tied to specific machines. If that machine fails unexpectedly then those VMs will restart. If it is a controlled reboot (e.g. host update) then they may not restart...

(Azure containers lead here) Awesome to see OpenAI scale Kubernetes on Azure!

What image were you running? Our internal monitoring indicates that it is generally significantly faster than that, but image pull is almost always the long pole for container startup time.

This looks very similar to what we launched with Azure Container Instances last summer.

The Azure Container Instances kubernetes connector is open source and available here:

It's really awesome to see Microsoft's experience in developer productivity coming to cloud native applications!

Each container has hypervisor level isolation. We are not relying on kernel level isolation for security isolation between different user's containers.

API support is already there. The docs/SDKs need to be updated, but there are some examples here:

Docs/SDK updates should roll out in the next 1-2 weeks.

Disclosure: lead eng for azure containers and kubernetes founder here...

a) For the longest time, I've wanted a "TTL" extension for Kubernetes objects, maybe this is a good excuse to build it. But concretely, since you are paying for the VMs in the cluster (IaaS) the Pods you deploy are "free" (until you run out of cluster capacity, of course)

b) The right way to do this is Kubernetes namespaces. You can specify a different Namespace in each user's draft config file that will place each developer's containers in a different namespace.

Now that I write that, though, that seems like too much work. We should probably automagically build a unique namespace for you...
