My stint in computers started back in the DOS days, diverged into *nix, Os/2, and other operating systems, but also knew way too damn much about Windows platforms. By nature, I was a BSD guy, moved to Linux for some things. I've worked for MSFT for 6 years now.
When the Skype buyout was announced, my friends called and laughed at me. The tech evangelist who worked for Microsoft at the time that I ran across while in Stockholm for business was super stoked.
I know and lived the days, I see the stories about the various "reporting back" -- that is outside my purview -- but when it comes to engagement with the OSS community, including Kubernetes, some simple searching will reveal just how much we've been involved in such.
One engineer working for the Azure Container Service team personally wrote most of the Azure Cloud Provider. An engineer from Redhat contributed the initial persistent volume on Azure support. An engineer in DX/TED is helping improve persistent volume support in 1.5.3 and 1.6. These things are easily revealed looking at Github PRs and other activity.
It's easy to post the "knee-jerk" post, I know I see something and think such, but sometimes a bit of searching will reveal surprises.
