I am still using the 2013 MBP primarily because:

- It has ALL THE PORTS

- No gimmicky touch bar

- No butter-a$$ keyboard

If Apple doesn't revert these dumb changes, I will simply get a Dell or something else.

Moxie Marlinespike (Openwhisper Systems, Signal) makes a good argument for why that doesn't work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DoeNbZlxfUM. Recommend watching the whole talk.

At least I still blame living (human) beings for the warming.

You can't be the CEO, chairman of the board, and majority voting shareholder, and not be accountable.

Yeah let's just spread conspiracies because you don't want to put in the time to prove them.

Just because your wound will get better tomorrow doesn't mean the pain today is invalid

Do I have some news for you.

I have always wondered which one is better:

1. Contribute early on little by little 2. Contribute nothing to very little for a while amassing huge fortunes (and compound interest magic), then donate big.

Pretty much the same question as lump sum vs dollar cost averaging in investing.

Have there been studies on this?

Honest q: What home-use workstation would use 32 cores? (Excluding home labs or servers).

I don't know enough about Juju K8s to really say similar it is. GKE On-Prem will be an OS image, set of containers, config, tooling and support.

> That being said, why would I not use the actual free upstream Kubernetes for my on-prem distribution ? (with the help of one of the thousands installer out there like kube-adm, kubespray, etc).

None of them actually provision your infra for you (VMs, LB rules etc). GKE On-Prem will.

What we have found out is that most on-prem customers are eager to move to the cloud. Practically it's not easy to just lift-and-shift. So think of this is a ramp to the cloud.

Now, the benefit of upstream K8s is that your dev team can build apps and containers without proprietary APIs; so when you are ready to move to the cloud you are not locked-in.

Let me know if you need a contact at Google to get started.

Not sure what you mean by "special hardware" but if your hardware is capable of running vSphere, GKE On-Prem should work for you.

Quick note though - We are exploring additional options, such as bare metal support, based on customer demand.

We are supporting vSphere in Alpha. However, we are exploring additional options, such as bare metal support, based on customer demand.

There are definitely enterprises looking to move away from virtualization. We have that in mind.

Send me an email (karangoel [at] google) if you'd be interested in talking more about bare metal.

Excellent question.

GKE On-Prem is a Google provided, validated and supported distribution of Kubernetes and extensions that offer a GKE-like experience in your on-premise datacenter. It makes it easy to install and upgrade Kubernetes and provides access to GCP services such as monitoring, logging, metrics, security and auditing for your on-premise installation. It is the foundational component of the Cloud Services Platform, and is how Google "brings the cloud to you".

CSP combines Kubernetes both in your on-premise datacenter (GKE On-Prem) and Google-managed Kubernetes in GCP (GKE) with Istio and other CI/CD (Cloud Build) and serverless (Knative) products. You can leverage this suite of products to both modernize your existing on-premise applications and build new applications in the cloud.

Additionally, Google will be offering phone and email support similar to the existing GCP support packages.

GKE On-Prem is a full K8s installation - so nodes and masters. We will support vSphere 6.5 in Alpha.

We will support vSphere 6.5 in Alpha.

Yes and no. The connection is needed to show your workloads and other cluster information in GCP Console (similar to what was shown in the keynote). However, if the connection goes down, your cluster will not stop working.

In the Alpha, we are supporting vSphere 6.5. Which part of infra are you most curious about knowing?

Hi all. Karan from the GKE On-Prem eng team here. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

GKE On-Prem eng here.

GKE On-Prem is packaged with upstream K8s. So for your team that currently uses `kubectl` to deploy or manage workloads, there won't be any differences.

GKE On-Prem eng here - the entire cluster will live on prem, including the masters.
