Google built Borg/Kubernetes because they own all the host machines which are super powerful, and they need multiple apps on one machine to cut cost. But for the rest of us building apps, different VMs provided by cloud provider, such as EC2, already provides a nice way of resource isolation that is also cheap, so why do we need to run multiple containers per machine? Suppose c4.4xlarge is too big for your app, for cost effective reason, you want to leverage Kubernetes to run multiple apps on the same VM, why not just spawn multiple c4.xlarge or c4.2xlarge VMs, and run only one app per VM for you? I admit this model won't fit us all, but for a significant number of us, this is already a good enough solution like containers, and it works today without needing to setup all kinds of fancy software defined networks, which we never know how long it's gonna last without signaling an issue.
