   I am talking about that like 10 years ago a company   
   would run like:   
      
   their application + their database server   
   RHEL [paying Redhat for Linux support]   
   ESXi   
   on-prem HW   
      
   but now they may run as (assuming Google customer):   
      
   their application in GKE + database as GCP managed service   
   whatever Linux Google want to use [paying Google for Linux support as   
   part of what they pay for the cloud services]   
   Linux with KVM   
   Google HW   
      
   Amazon, Microsoft and Google are taking revenue away   
   from Redhat (IBM). They have de facto gotten into   
   the Linux support business.
