As a google partner, sometimes I get to hear about things when they're in alpha and this was one of them. Serverless containers is the ultimate awesome in my mind, especially for webapps and APIs, because everyone knows the biggest headache for containers is orchestration. Well this announcement kinda abrogates the need for orchestration at all. If these things auto-scale then I don't have to manage a K8s cluster at all. I mean, yeah for internal services there is some significant networking work to do, but DUDE. Auto-scaling CONTAINERS that are SERVERLESS. Can life better? I submit that it CANNOT!

There is something about wrapping up your code in a nice little package where it has everything it needs to run in a happy little space where it's nice and warm. BUT; how'm I supposed to get my happy warm little container out into the real world where it can actually do some good? This is harder question to answer.
