‘AWS vs. K8s’ Is the New ‘Windows vs. Linux’

Like Microsoft and Linux, AWS ignored Kubernetes for as long as it could, and like Microsoft, AWS has been forced to ’embrace and extend’ its rival to protect its market share. Microsoft eventually turned their oil tanker towards the cloud, going big on open source, and Linux and Docker, and all the things that would drag IT to their services. Interestingly, the reasons AWS put forward for why private clouds fail will be just as true for themselves: enterprises can’t manage elastic demand properly, whether it’s in their own data centre or when they’re paying someone else.
