Interesting.. the name, kubernetes, is Greek for helmsman or pilot. It is the root of the English word governor, but also of the word cybernetics. This puts the whole Cyborg-Governor-Schwarzenegger-Terminator thing in a whole new light...

Well, if anyone was going to become Skynet and kill us all, it would be Google. ;)

#13How does this compare to CoreOS?
This could run on top of CoreOS (I haven't tried yet though).
If we look at a very high level sketch of what a dynamic cluster system look like (https://speakerdeck.com/jbeda/containers-at-scale?slide=5) I think that CoreOS fits in at the "Managed Base OS" level.
Kubernetes is a Cluster Scheduler and a "Node Container Manager" (called the kubelet in Kubernetes).
(This deck is pre-Kupernetes. The python agent that we released will be replaced with the kubelet at some point soon.)

minor detail - i'd suspect that when Google will need a lot of neural net hardware the "kill" would look like a waste :)
k-Uber-net-s rhymes well with global domination.

#15How does this compare to CoreOS?
CoreOS has its own cluster scheduler called Fleet that seems to cover a similar ground. I'd love for someone familiar with both to do a writeup.

#16Interesting that this is written in Go - I think it's the first open source release from Google that I've seen written in their language. I wonder if anyone in here can comment on whether that is indicative of a trend inside Google - are people writing less Python / Java in there these days?
vitess was one of the first golang projects Google open sourced: https://github.com/youtube/vitess

#17It seems that this is sort of a basic version of Omega (probably with Google-specific scheduling heuristics missing). I'd strongly recommend folks interested in this stuff to read the Omega paper [1] or to watch the Wilkes video [2].

> are people writing less Python / Java in there these days?
I don't know about "less Python/Java", but Go has been on the rise at Google internally, and has been used in public-facing services for a while.
dl.google.com (which powers Chrome downloads) and the MySQL database management layer for Youtube[0] have both been written in Go for a while now.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a way of running docker containers at scale.
So is there an example showing how to launch a large number of these. Right now all I see is how to spin up one node.
