Fascinating documentary on Kubernetes for those who have 50 minutes. Gives more background to the "Container Wars". The filmmakers also have documentaries on the history of Python, Argo, etc. Some highlights: - How far behind Kubernetes was at the time of launch. Docker Swarm was significantly more simple to use, and Apache Mesos scheduler could already handle 10,000 nodes (and was being used by Netflix). - RedHat's early contributions were key, despite having the semi-competing project of OpenShift. - The decision to Open Source K8S came down to one meeting brief meeting at Google. Many of the senior engineers attended remotely from Seattle, not bothering to fly out because they thought their request to go OS was going to get shutdown. - Brief part at the end where Kelsey Hightower talks about what he thinks might come after Kubernetes. He mentions, and I thought this was very interesting ... Serverless making a return. It really seemed like Serverless would be "the thing" in 2016-2017 but containers were too powerful. Maybe now with KNative or some future fusing of Container Orchestration + K8S? [1] - ▶ this video

Anybody who watched "Kubernetes: The Documentary" knows the answer: ▶ this video Kubernetes only exists, because Google lost the Cloud Wars, and this was their Hail Mary pass.

Slightly biased? This is the way they present the extract of the dotScale conference in this K8s documentary: ▶ this video And the source media: link They've altered the quality of the audio and video to make it look old. They even cropped it to 4:3! This is preposterous.
