Oh no, Google is the main supporter of Kubernetes, yikes!

There are also Amazon and Microsoft in the Kubernetes space, so it is assured just in case Google gets bored with the project.

There are now developers from hundreds of companies contributing to Kubernetes. Google remains the largest contributor, but is less than half and declining as a percentage of the whole, even as their total contributions actually increase.

I assume you're trolling, and already know that kubernetes is open source, has many key contributors outside of Google, and that we can spin it up on bare hardware if for some unlikely reason we needed to do that.
