And that's why the sentence contains an or - because they are not a cloud provider but you cant guarantee a local corp is gonna run kube.
To be fair, the situation ended up being: bunch of clients running minikube, 1 major client with their own kubernetes cluster, and a lot of other clients using the multi tenant, cloud hosted, offering. Made it a bit of a pain to support that one client with a cluster we could not control, but it was one of our biggest clients, so, them the breaks.
