At my last meetup. (Detroit Kuberentes) We heard the story of a company that was able to rebuild their entire production environment from scratch in 1 hr. They run on kuberentes, of course it's not the only story, I'm sure using something like Terraform/Cloudformation is also part of the story.

I've been toying around with Kubernetes (AKS on Azure) the last few weeks and have to say I rather impressed. Still being able to start from scratch and be up and running in one hour is really impressive.

I'm using both AKS and GKE in Google and I have to say that GKE is way, way nicer to work with.

I'd be very interested to hear in what way you think GKE is nicer to work with, care to elaborate?

Clusters come up faster. They're easier to upgrade. Don't have to delete clusters to change them (just provision a new node pool). Persistent storage is less weird. No RBAC. Weirdness around kube-system namespace. I.e. if I create a registry there, it gets disappears with no logs or events suggesting why.
