You can do this with LastPass.

This is disingenuous at best. Next.

I don't think technical debt is an insult. Docker is a fully-fledged platform, 90% of which is not in use in any Kubernetes cluster. It's bloat. That Swarm and everything else was baked into the platform along with the runtime makes it technical debt for those that necessarily have to support it.

I don't think anyone hates docker. But there is an issue of hubris here.

2 outages in 5 years.

5. Years.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I struggle to find evidence that this is any better anywhere else. At almost every other company I've worked at, the interview process was more about the referral itself (which leads to some pretty awful hires), or whether you can fake it til you make it.

Talent is not a single measure at Google. There are multiple facets to whether Google believes a candidate is solid. Strong technical talent is not an indicator of success, rather just one aspect of it that's taken into consideration by the hiring committees. So yeah, Google will say no to incredibly talented people because they fall short in other areas.

Crapshoot is table stakes practically everywhere you go. At least Google makes an attempt at making things objective and holistic.

There's a lot of myopia in this thread.

It doesn't really mean anything in relation to PKS. GKE On-Prem is Google's strategic on-prem enterprise Kubernetes offering.

As of right now, the alpha release is supported on vSphere 6.5... more to come later :)

Right now for the alpha release, it's vSphere 6.5

Google K8s specialist here.

The entire cluster is on-prem. At the moment, you can optionally leverage a secured tether to manage your cluster in GCP with the same management features you've come to expect with GKE proper. If the connection is lost, your cluster is still fully functional, so no there is no requirement for permanent access to your intranet. The access, when it exists, is also secured to only permit specific access between Google's network and your cluster.

I'm not sure this is akin to that. This is, for lack of a better term at the moment, more of an enterprise Kubernetes distribution.

Which is where Google's network comes into play.
