What is Kubernetes?

Where dit it come from?

Kubernetes was born at Google. But, in the summer of 2014 it came of age, and it was open-sourced and handed over to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which is a part of the Linux foundation. And to be fair, since then it has been nothing short of a rip-roaring success, like there’s no doubt it’s one of the biggest and most important open source infrastructure projects on the planet. Here are some more information about Kubernetes:

• Born in Google
• Become open source in 2014
• Written in Go/GoLang
• Source: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
• Channels: @kubernetesio, slack.k8s.io, https://kubernetes.io
• v1.0 July 2015
• Often shorttened name to k8s

What does the name mean?

Kubernetes comes from the Greek word meaning helmsman, and the logo here, obviously, that’s from the helm of a ship. And this should be no surprise, mean the whole Docker and containers world is just littered with nautical references.
