Some organizations are afraid to bring their
workloads to the cloud because they're afraid they'll get locked
into a particular vendor. However, if, for whatever reason, a customer
decides that Google is no longer the best provider for their needs,
we provide them with the ability to run their applications elsewhere. Google publishes key elements of technology
using open source licenses to create ecosystems that provide customers with options other
than Google. For example, TensorFlow, an open source software
library for machine learning developed inside Google, is at the heart of a strong open source
ecosystem. Google provides interoperability at multiple
layers of the stack. Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine give
customers the ability to mix and match microservices running across different clouds,
while Google Cloud’s operations suite lets customers monitor workloads across multiple
cloud providers.
