I've been watching Kubernetes since I heard about it at DockerCon 2014 - why did Google open source it?

We fundamentally believe the future of cloud is hybrid, many reasons to run in many different clouds and on premis

brendandburns
also, its an evolving ecosystem, we need opinions and contributions from lots of different people.

@brendandburns what is the Google definition of hybrid cloud?

Kit Merker
2 heads is better than 1, many hands make light work

run what you want, where you want, efficiently

brendandburns
@bgracely same application running in different places, maybe development and staging is in a cloud provider, but production is still on prem.

We at Google run a lot of open source technology, and have seen first hand the power of the community in building better tech. When we thought about our next cloud product, made sense to start as an open source initiative.

In addition, we think that the future of apps is cloud-native, and contributing k8s to OSS lets us engage the community in creating an ecosystem that accelerates that transition.

Steve Chambers
cloud native is a product marketing term that few real people support in the field

Navneet Joneja
@stevie_chambers cloud native in the way we use it is technical, not marketing - shorthand for building apps in a way that takes advantage of the unique capabilities of the cloud.

Rob Steele
@njoneja when does OSS NOT make sense ?

Kit Merker
when you are doing your secret sauce, everything else should be shared (IMHO)

Steve Chambers
@njoneja what are those unique capabilities, Navneet? It's not a binary thing, right? More a spectrum? And some enterprises have good cloud-like capabilities sans cloud now

Navneet Joneja
Wow, that's a complicated question :) Let's say I don't expect that iOS will go open source.

Navneet Joneja
Absolutely a spectrum and when these capabilities exist on owned and operated infrastructure it makes even more sense to build apps in a way that allows them to take advantage of them. That transition is happening slowly; we want to accelerate it.
