This post was written by Eric Brewer, the author of CAP theorem.

I imagine he's done some noteworthy things since? That's like introducing Elon Musk as "Founder of X.com."

Essentially it comes across as "I'm a fan of your early work, but nothing you've done since matters."

He's done a bunch of stuff, but CAP is probably his most popular work. Even Wikipedia says that's what he's "known for".

We are particularly excited about Kubernetes. We are taking the ideas for how we do cluster management at Google and creating an open source project to manage Docker containers. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes

Slightly offtopic - I haven't used docker yet but can docker be used to run Ubuntu on GCE? That seems to be possible by using a ubuntu base image?
