Making Google Cloud technology available to our community will allow us to offer access to powerful infrastructure, scalable training and deployment services and the ability to store and query large data sets.
So they will basically extend what happened in the Youtube 8M competition (being able to run your code on Google Cloud directly instead of having to spin your own EC2 cluster etc.).
Exactly - at the end of the day, the majority of Kaggle users are potential Google customers. Majority of them would probably buy Google API access outright (for things like NLP, for example). A minority is probably more interested in building their own AI-based processing pipline using Google Cloud resources.
