Can't speculate on futures, but here's the current version log ... https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/system-architecture-tpu-vm...

[Google employee] Yes, you can use TPUs in Compute Engine and GKE, among other places, for whatever you'd like. I just checked and the v6 are available.

Google employee here. Not the case. Cloud Run doesn't run on Kubernetes. It supports the Knative interface which is an OSS project for Kubernetes-based serverless. But Cloud Run is a fully managed service that sits directly atop Borg (https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/securing/security).

Arc looks cool, but it's only the control plane. They aren't dropping AKS into other environments. The compute is your responsibility. Anthos puts GKE in other places.

Keeping scrolling! Under GKE (managed Kubernetes), you see the call outs to EKS and AKS, respectively.

The Anthos point is that other clouds don't offer their k8s stacks as supported options on other clouds.

If you see things you find wrong in the table, let me know.

The KubeAcademy courses are nice little (free, no-reg) intros, and they have transcripts if you read faster than you watch: https://kube.academy/courses
Re:Kind - run local Kubernetes clusters using Docker on Tuesday March 17, 2020 @09:12AM (#22604542)
Sure. I cheated. I specifically didn't feel like setting up extraPortMappings (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/issues/808), and then create an ingress controller (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/ingress/). Not difficult, just not turnkey availability like the other two.
