I'm somewhat surprised. Why would Microsoft put weight into Deis vs use something like Kubernetes or Mesos? I haven't kept up with Deis's growth and I'm obviously very happy for them, but I'm curious what the gain is. Based on HN posts and other devops forums, Kubernetes eeems to have gained a lot of momentum recently.

Best to think of Deis as a Kubernetes company. We are much more than the PaaS solution many folks know us for.

  Congratulations! There are few Kubernetes experts on the market right now. Deis is certainly a smart acquisition for Microsoft (along with hiring Brendan Burns).

What are some good devops forums? I remember trying to find them a year ago, and I didn't seem to be looking in the right places

This IS Microsoft investing in Kubernetes. They also have partnership with DC/OS. So it is Kubernetes AND Mesos for them.

We have customers running DCOS workloads as well as Kubernetes workloads on Azure. Some use ACS, some use bare VMs (be it ubuntu, CoreOS, etc). Some use DCOS enterprise from the market place. Just from my perspective, having sat down and done a hackfest with guys from Deis in Redmond, they bring a phenomenal amount of experience in Kubernetes to Microsoft. We have a number of people that work in the area (contributing helm charts, other Pos, etc), but more knowledge in an interesting and growing area is always great to have. Additionally, Workflow is a great way to get started on containerized apps and it works quite well atop ACS. If people are doing interesting things on Azure (ACS/acs-engine or even VMs) using Kubernetes or DCOS, I'd love to hear about it.

Microsoft, like Google, is working with several opensource platform providers. Because they're selling time on an IaaS. They don't have to pick winners when they present a fungible pool of resources. By way of analogy, BP and Shell don't care where their petrol gets burnt. Ford, GM, it's all the same to them. Disclosure: I work on such a platform, Cloud Foundry, on behalf of Pivotal. We have a close working relationship with both Microsoft and Google.
