Wait, so Kubernetes is Google's take on Docker, invented independently?

• tybit 8y ago
  No it’s Googles take on container/compute task scheduling, deciding when and on which machines a task (e.g a docker container) should run. Docker Swarm is Dockers offering in the same category as Kubernetes. Edit: Though Google could be credited with introducing containers to Linux, as they added the main missing piece, cgroups, to the Linux kernel.

    Cgroups are not container specific and are used to limit resources to processes ie cpu, memory. Namespaces are what makes Linux containers possible.
