A Decade of Container Control at Google
I believe this article is poorly researched and very pro-Google slanted. The author, &#x27;Timothy Prickett Morgan&#x27; falsely presents the impression that Google has been driving in one direction for ten years, that they did most of the work of containers in Linux, and that everyone else can thank them for their hard work.<p>I was following the container automation area very closely a couple of years ago, including some personal email interactions with Wilkes, and the primary LXC&#x2F;cgroup userspace&#x2F;kernelspace authors (none of whom worked at Google). It is my distinct impression, as others have noted, that Kubernetes was not an in-house for in-house thing, but rather a product that was made after many successive in-house systems specifically with a view towards sharing with the public, probably partly in response to public perceptions and popularization around LXC&#x2F;Docker, and Amazon EC2&#x27;s rapid success which Google&#x27;s management would probably like to replicate.<p>Bad journalism.
