This is why we did not consider GCP when we were looking at moving some of our services to the cloud. Never know when Google will discontinue or drastically change pricing on services.

We're a GCP customer and I definitely cringed in real life when I read the post. We're building cloud portability into our new deployment tooling and moving as many things as possible to kubernetes, so we can be somewhat prepared.

Oh no, Google is the main supporter of Kubernetes, yikes!

I assume you're trolling, and already know that kubernetes is open source, has many key contributors outside of Google, and that we can spin it up on bare hardware if for some unlikely reason we needed to do that.

There are also Amazon and Microsoft in the Kubernetes space, so it is assured just in case Google gets bored with the project.

There are now developers from hundreds of companies contributing to Kubernetes. Google remains the largest contributor, but is less than half and declining as a percentage of the whole, even as their total contributions actually increase.
