It is one orchestration system it can run anywhere and that allows you to move applications between different clouds with ease and I think it is true, to a degree. You can definitely take your Docker container and your Kubernetes services that are running in EKS and you can go and run them in GKE. I think the reality is that there is still quite a bit of configuration differences between those systems on different clouds that it is not quite as seamless as you would hope.

In some cases, it comes down to relationships at the executive level, and how good the deal structure is. There are all these different elements, but there's definitely a lot of technical drivers as well.
