Isn't that just what "regular" Kubernetes is, except that you wrap a Linux image/container around your static ELF binary? The Stack build tool for Haskell has an option for building as a Docker image, wrapped around the static Linux ELF binary that it would otherwise produce. I assume something similar exists for Go and Rust.
- TheIronYuppie 10y agoYep, this is exactly right. The tradeoff here (and it's a good one) is you don't require any binaries at all. Disclosure: I work at Google on Kubernetes.
