Google Stepping Back from Kubernetes

Google is stepping back from basically funding the open source Kubernetes community. They’re giving them $9M worth of credits on the Google Cloud over 3 years, and stepping away from control.

This should over all be a good thing for Kubernetes.

How it breaks out for Pivotal isn’t clear yet, but I think it is positive - PKS can have more input into the community, and they are allied with Google and IBM in terms of support and direction.
