> Why did the people who created Kubernetes all leave Google?
Brendan Burns went to Microsoft to work on Kubernetes on Azure. He'd been working at Google for 8 years already. Microsoft probably paid a lot to acquire him and it wouldn't be surprising if he saw it as an exciting opportunity to keep working on his creation while leading an exciting new project.
Joe Beda and Craig McLuckie left together to found a company whose product _is_ Kubernetes (Heptio).
So I could guess they just realized that their resume opened them to exciting new opportunities.
> Have you ever pondered the strategy behind it all?
Yes, and I can't see what it could be, so I'd love to be enlightened.
So far all I see is that I'm using an amazing software that has considerably simplified my life when dealing with my infrastructure. I so happen to be using GKE (and maybe _that_ was the grand evil plan all along!), but I know that I could use AWS or Azure or even go back to bare metal if I wanted to.
