Kubernetes Co-Creator Brendan Burns On What Comes Next

Episode Summary

Like so many milestones that were achieve in the history of computing, creators and inventors rarely had eureka moments, but instead, found a very practical way to solve a problem. The creation of Kubernetes is but another example of something very big that was created with little initial fanfare, before becoming one of the most important developments in modern computing that will likely serve as the cornerstone of how software is deployed and developed for at least years to come. As Brendan Burns, distinguished engineer at Microsoft and one of the founders of Kubernetes, said during a podcast Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack, hosted during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2018 in Shanghai: “I don’t think we could have ever imagined that this would be where we’d be sitting five years from then — it’s really unbelievable.” Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MuKVrEaQopY
