https://devopstoolkit.live/bedtime/the-true-origin-of-kubernetes-and-why-google-gave-it-away/index.htmlGather round. Get comfortable, kids. Tonight, I’m going to read you a bedtime story. This is the story of Kubernetes. You already know Kubernetes. That’s exactly why you never asked where it came from. You wrote YAML this week. You know roughly what a pod is. You have been on a call where somebody said “we’ll just put it in the cluster,” and everybody nodded, and nobody said out loud what that was going to cost. But that is the last ten minutes of a much longer story. Before Kubernetes, machines had names. There was a system inside Google that nobody outside Google had ever laid eyes on. There was a genuinely better answer out of Berkeley, and it lost. And there was a meeting where the man in charge of Google’s infrastructure listened to this whole plan and could not believe what he was hearing. So tonight I’ll tell you where Kubernetes actually came from, why Google gave away the thing it called a competitive advantage, and which companies ended up collecting.Hugoen-us
