kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container orchestration engine used by companies around the world.

• Started as ‘the Borg’ at Google.
• created by Joe Beda, Brendan Burns, Craig McLuckie
• Brendan wanted to call it project 7 but a ColdFusion product had the trademark.
• originally written in Go because they were learning Go and it seemed like a good starter project to work with.
• Joe has mentioned that he is very sad that YAML is the way most people work with k8s, rather than a nice user interface.
• Infra started working with it for RBAC for kubernetes before pivoting to Keypair and then to Ollama.
• I interviewed Brendan Burns with Bret Fisher on the Devops and Docker Talk podcast.
