The difference is, Google is the only company that is both trying to sell cloud services, and giving their product away to their competitors.

The company I work for uses multiple cloud providers, but does not use GCE. They don't even think about it. I think the reason is a lack of confidence, along with other business and technical reasons. Google just isn't a serious company when it comes to supporting large businesses. Like it or not, that old adage about never getting fired for buying IBM is still true.




Kubernetes isn't the product, though. GCP is. Google doesn't care what software you're running, as long as you run it with them.
