I confess that I have not yet mastered Kubernetes. I haven't even tried, actually - working with Docker has been challenging enough for now. So the best I can do to report on it is to talk about what I've read about it, and not from actual experience. And from that perspective, this seems like a good article to pass along, reporting on the origins of the Google cloud orchestration tool in a project aptly named 'Borg' to its adoption to support cloud-native enterprise applications. I've done enough work in the cloud to appreciate the importance of a tool like Kubernetes, though happily my projects have been small-enough scale to not need it.
