Well, considering they said that they&#x27;re running Kubernetes on GCE and not GKE, I don&#x27;t think your conclusion is forgone at all.<p>More importantly, GKE _is_ Kubernetes. It&#x27;s actually a somewhat constrained subset of the full Kubernetes (GKE doesn&#x27;t have rkt support, for example).<p>So yeah, if you&#x27;re handwaving and trying to imply that GKE = lockin... sorry, you&#x27;re wrong.
