If you haven't heard of Jessie Frazelle, definitely check out her work. As others have expressed, she's a brilliant engineer, speaker, and writer. If I were in charge of hiring, I'd have recruiters pestering the hell out of her to join my team. Seriously, she's one of my favorite people that I've never met :)

No, but all of the founders (and one of the top k8s guys from redhat) are at a firm based on it now: https://www.heptio.com Jessie is an incredible speaker and a really funny engineer. It was genuinely hard to not laugh watching her talk @ Monitorama last year titled "Everything is Broken": https://vimeo.com/173704265 Kubernetes is a project started by Google to make managing containers at scale, on premise, or on th…

"The greatest contribution need for Docker" I believe less is more. Docker has grown into an all consuming piece of complexity. The best code is code you never write.

I am using k8s on azure container service. It's good! One thing I am unable to do is re-scale the cluster (add more nodes). They don't allow that somehow.

"This means the service is now backed by an SLA, and users will be able to get support contracts from Microsoft. Maybe more importantly, though, Microsoft also added two pivotal new features with this update: the ability to easily scale Kubernetes clusters up and down and support for high-availability setups with multiple masters."
P.S. Her twitter timeline is a must-follow - https://twitter.com/jessfraz
Is kubernetes a company?
Background for k8s is that Google had (has) an internal container scheduler called Borg (https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43438.html) with which they do clever things like pack a CPU-hungry and RAM-hungry process on the same box so all of that machine's resources get used, and can use the same server for a mix of production processes (that might e.g. be latency-sensitive need a dedicated core) and non-production tasks like internal data crunching. For example, a non-production task can run opportunistically when a prod job isn't using its full allocation of RAM, and be preempted if the production tasks need that RAM later or more important tasks come along.
Kubernetes is a ground-up effort to do the same sort of thing in the open. The components are different--etcd instead of Chubby, and of course not using Google's internal container stuff for tasks--but idea's the same.
