While talking to a number of different organizations I heard opposing opinions on how they want to host Kubernetes in the cloud.

This short article covers very beginning of the journey (ping me for more if interested). And only relevant for organizations that are in the cloud or moving to the cloud that have K8S PAAS offering.

Some organizations are thinking to build Kubernetes platform on their own on Virtual Machines, some others are considering PAAS (AKS in Azure, EKS on AWS, GKE on Google Cloud, etc).
