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. ;)

Actually, Google seems to be slacking off in that arena, but Chris Matthieu and his team have it covered: http://skynet.im/

It's worth noting that this uses Salt as the underlying controller.

To the Kubernetes devs: It's probably worth mentioning that somewhere in the Readme. I say that partially because as an end user it's nice to know you're building on solid building blocks that have stood the test of time, and also because it was moderately disheartening to learn about Kubernetes with no mention of Salt and then later learn that it was build partially on the hard work of the Salt team.

Using their project as a building block is great, but give credit where it's due.
